Magic Mouse vs. Glass Table Top

Hi -
Will the new magic mouse work on a glass table top? I have been having issue with my older mouse not functioning on the glass table top and wondered if I took the plunge to a new magic mouse if I would experience the same thing. Other mice (e.g Logitech) touts a dark laser that should work, but I did not want to go that route unless necessary.
Thanks - Ziggy

It seems to have started when I tried to use it on a black glass table.
Try using it on a mouse pad or a plain piece of white paper.

  • Magic mouse on glass mouse mat

    I use a glass mouse mat with a couple of gaming mice but i have another mouse that doesnt like it
    i'm just wondering does magic mouse work with glass mouse mat?
    thanks

    The Magic Mouse works well on any surface the laser light doesn't penatrate.  Glass doesn't work well but if the black glass is dense enough it could.  Using a mouse pad or piece of paper or magazine will fix that issue.

  • Magic Mouse on Glass Surface

    Hello All,
    i have my new iMac i7 on its way from China to the US. I have a glass surfaced desk at home and wonder if any of you know if the magic mouse will work on that material. Appreciate your help!!!

    I ordered an aluminum mouse pad to go with the new Magic Mouse, is called the MacPadd. Apparently the inventor is a rather strange individual (do a Google search on MacPadd) however the mouse pad is very sharp.
    I have a feeling that they may not be available for long and are probably going to become collector items, therefore if you are interested, I would place an order before they are sold out.
    I ordered direct from their American distributor, Other World Computing.

    Hello:
    The mouse with a scroll wheel is not the magic mouse.  However, turn the mouse upside down and run in over a plain piece of paper.  If that does not help, run the scroll wheel over one of those microfiber cloths.
    I would definitely NOT try to open the device.

  • Inside lesion in the top surface glass of my Magic Mouse

    Hallo to all.
    This is my Magic Mouse purchesed in Itali on March 22 2011.
    I always always maximum care and it has never any fallen. These days I've suddenly noticed a lesion in a top glass surface . What should I do? Does Apple warranty cover these problems?
    Thanks

    As it's still under warranty I'd call Applecare and they'll probably replace it for you.

  • Magic Mouse keep scratching the table!

    Hi,
    I've got a Magic Mouse for just about 4 months, and realised recently that it had been scratching my tables, and also only to realise that the Apple Marque had worn off quite a fair bit because of the table surface touching scratching through the bottom aluminium battery cover plate.
    Is this usual or I actually got defect products?
    Kindly advise.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Eric Seah

    Thanks Ralph, I was equally surprised as well.
    The reason of me posting in the Apple Support forum is because I actually went to the Mac Service Centre and they mentioned that it is 'normal' that it will scratch on the table. I personally felt it is like a manufacturing defect some sort, but they said it is usual hence my action to post it in the forum and see what other users' experience is.
    If that's the case, I'll probably forward this Apple Online support then since I bought it online.
    Thanks.

  • Mouse Magic Mouse is disabled in low impact on the table.

    Hello! The problem I have with the mouse Magicmouse a weak impact on the table (very weak) imac prishet that the mouse is disabled. Prior to that Mac was not, so do not compare with anything. What to do?

    Have you taken the batteries out and reseated them?
    The magic mouse shouldn't be badly effected by a small drop, theres no lose or moving parts so nothing to be dislodged.

  • Magic Mouse - worst mouse i've ever used

    My magic mouse has left scratches on my mouse mat, my glass table from ikea which was expensive and the battery cover rattles when i touch it. Its out of the maximum days of return to apple so what do i do? I just want to get rid of it, i've had it since it came out and i've not enjoyed any moment of it. I've just been using my razer deathadder and it glides along the mat like a feather but the magic mouse is like a piece of lead with spikes stuck to it. I've tried requesting a repair but it says i've not entered the right data which is ridiculous because i know how to read.

    Hi MattStreet89;
    If you are dissatisfied with an Apple product you can being it back to Apple even if the return days have expired. It sounds like there is a real problem with your m]magic mouse.

  • Magic mouse wont track

    magic mouse will connect and click and scroll functions work but wont track. The senses are clean and the batteries are showing at 93%?

  • Magic Mouse and Employing Pinch to Open and Close Feature

    I have purchased a magic mouse and would like to employ the "pinch to open & close" features (option on multi-touch trackpad) with the magic mouse. This is not the same as zoom (e.g. hold control key with mouse wheel).
    I have tried using bettertouchtool and magicprefs, but it appears that neither accommodates this feature easily. If there were a keyboard shortcut to employ this feature then I think I can assign it to a magic mouse gesture via BTT or Magic Prefs, but I cannot find such a keyboard shortcut.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    It could be you are approaching it incorrectly.   It can be a tricky little gadget that actually works with minimal pressure.
    Try turning over the mouse so the compartment panel faces you, optical sensor topmost.  Then holding the mouse at each side but not on the panel itself, flick the small, black rectangular panel downwards.   The top of the panel should spring out, though it may require you to manipulate it fully away from the mouse.
    Once you have replaced the batteries, starting at the bottom reverse the procedure then clip into place.   Remember to move the small switch next to the optical sensor upwards which should turn on the green light.   Then click twice to connect.

  • Most of the time when i click my magic mouse on an item it gives me options like back, open new page, etc.

    When I try to use my magic mouse, most of the time it won't open an item but instead will give me options like: back, open new page, open link in new window, and I am actually on top of for instance, the comment field in facebook...It takes several attempts of clicking off the entire page to get it to just open the link or respond appropriately...

    the mouse performs a right click instead of a left click. Check your mouse preferences in the system settings.

  • I have a 5 month old Magic Mouse and I want to replace the batteries for the first time but the battery door will not release any suggestions?

    The battery compartment door on my Magic Mouse appears to be jammed shut and will not open, the device is only 5 months old and this is the first time I have needed to open it to change the batteries. Are there any suggestions?

  • Magic Mouse wont close program or window when I left click.

    Hi,
    so I bought me a new set up iMac i7 with among others the magic mouse 3 months ago.
    Not everytime but quite frequently when I try to close a program or any kind of window, by left click the red button on top left corner, it wont work, nothing happens.
    Then I have to click somewhere outside that area and then go back to the red close button and it works.
    This is also present sometimes when I want to close a tab in safari by the tab cross-button.
    Anyone who has an idea of what the problem might be?
    At a first glance I thought it was a software bug, since it work when I click outside the red close button and then go back and it works.
    When it stops working it doesnt matter how many times I try, it just wont do until I click once outside the area.
    I also have a track pad but it works flawless!
    Thanks in advance for any hint into right direction!
    regards - Peter

  • Swipe between pages feature is freezing with magic mouse and magic trackpad in Mavericks

    I am experiencing a bug in Mavericks with my Magic trackpad and the Magic mouse. This bug comes and goes and is very sporadic. When it happens I am usually in a browser like Firefox or Safari, or in iPhoto. Anything that uses the Swipe between pages feature usually locks up, and  on top of this it locks the scroling up and down function in the browsers and in iPhoto. The only thing that makes these functions work again is to reeboot or turn off bluetooth and turn it back on. I see that many people are having this problem in other posts, and I am just wondering if Apple is actually working on this bug or has somebody found what trigers this bug and do they have the fix for it?
    Thanks for your help
    Chris

    Maybe this will help. You can look for other ideas in the 'More Like This' box to the right.
