Magic mouses button loose

My magic mouse's top part (basically the button/touchpad) seems a bit loose.
It is moving sideways about 1/2 mm - 1 mm.
And when i click it, it has an "empty" movement also for 1/2 mm - 1mm. Is that normal?

It's not really the problem with the click. I think the best way to explain it - if i just tap on the mouse (not try to click it), the button/touchpad moves for about 0.5-1mm vertically and pops back, like on a coil or something. It just doesn't feel "fit". Not sure it's the best way to explain it, but I hope you could understand.
I'll probably just go to the nearest apple store and check the sample mosues out there. If they feel the same, then I guess it's fine.

  • Why does my magic mouse button and scroll surface not work?

    My MacBook Air 13" ran out of power before I could connect it to a power source. After I was able to power it on again, the Magic Mouse button and scrolling surface could no longer work even though I could still use the optical pointer below to move the cursor. How can I restore the button and scrolling surface. Have tried powering down and up both the MacBook Air as well as the mouse. Also tried unpairing and re-pairing both but nothing works so far. Thanks.

  • Magic mouse: no 3rd button?

    I helped a friend with his new iMac. It came with the Magic Mouse and OSX 10.6.1. I upgraded to 10.6.2 and made the right click working. Still, isn't there any 3rd button? I liked the mouse, so I was considering to buy it myself, but without the 3rd button it's a no go for me. I always assign the 3rd button to Space which I've found very handy. Any way to configure it?

    You can enable the middle click and swipes with this free app.

    I've been running it for a while and it's very stable. I use the middle click/touch all the time in my unix/mac environment and cut/paste works very well going between the systems. The added bonus is that you can set the click to be a "touch" to mimic the touchpad behavior. Sweet.

  • Magic Mouse and MS Word 2011 (under OS 10.7, iMac middle 2011): Marking of word in a document stops after a few seconds while still pressing the left button and keep on moving the mouse (batteries full)

    Software: OS X Lion (10.7.4); Microsoft Word für Mac 2011, Version 14.2.2 (120421)
    Hardware: iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB, magic mouse
    To mark several clauses in a doc-document (in MS Word 2011), I press the left mouse button and move the mouse along the words
    My problem:
    While still pressing the left button and moving the mouse, the marking on the screen stops and I can't change the already existing markings any more (to become less or especially more).
    Who knows:
    - why this happens and how I can abondon this behaviour?
    - is it a settings problem in MS Word 2011 or of OS X Lion?
    By the way:
    - I don't watch this behaviour in MS Excel 2011. There everything works fine.
    - The batteries are fully loaded and I'm about 30 to 40 cm (1") away from the iMac (RSSI: -60 dB)
    Thanks for answers.

    I have the same problem now that I've enabled FileVault 2 on Mountain Lion.

  • NEED Middle button for Magic Mouse in Bootcamp!

    Hey guys!
    I recently purchased a Magic Mouse, and my oh my is it AWESOME! Problem is that it hadn't occured to me there was no middle button and I DESPERATELY need a middle button to use Solidworks under Bootcamp. Anyone know of any drivers/programs/hacks that'll enable middle button for me? Else I've effectively wasted $70, and being a student, that hurts.
    PLEASE let me know ASAP! I'd hate to have to get one of those generic mouses.
    Thanks!

    I am pretty sure that this is not possible, try finding a version of the software you use that is compatible with Mac OS X?

  • My magic mouse loose connection

    hi, my magic mouse loose connection every time i lift it up!
    i have a late 13 imac with all upgrades on.
    also new batteries on it ,not rechargeable.
    any idea?

    Sounds to me they are loose inside the compartment.   There are two possible causes.   A badly made mouse (very unlikely) or inferior quality batteries.   We generally find Apple, Energiser or Eneloop are the recommended ones; others, especially minor brands, can be that tiny bit too short and leave them liable to movement.

    Why a magic mouse divours batteries? Why does it loose connection evey few minutes? Can I have it replaced?
    <Edited By Host>

    Hello again,
    Just idly thinking about your post mentioning you had only had it for 4 or 5 days. Such a problem rarely gets better with time, were you suggesting you hoped it would improve, in other words?
    I can see you are now aware of the packing option but if you are using Apple, Duracell or Energiser batteries packing it out should not be necessary.   Any other batteries I cannot speak for.  
    One buys Apple because of its' reputation against other products; you will be helping to maintain that by asking for an exchange.   You will feel better for it, and speak better of it.
    Forgive me if the opinion is a touch biased; I've been very lucky with my iMac purchase and the only exchange I ever made only enhanced my view of Apple; it went so smoothly.
    Thank you for the star.

  • Accessory or Mod for the Magic Mouse to Give it Buttons?

    Hi. The Magic Mouse is great when you're surfing, doing photos and things that. The freedom of one click mouse and gestures is great for these things when you don't need performance that much. It's a great mouse, easy to use and very relaxing for those tasks. But for gaming, most especially for shooters, it's not that great because it tends to click things by accident. I'd be nice to not have two mice for cost. Is there an accessory or a mod (link to that mod) that you can snap-on buttons for it (with scroll, there was a company who did that with the Apple puck mouse for the original iMac if I remember)?

    Hi OtterMN73
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    So stop using sandpaper for a mouse pad...
    The Mouse is covered under the one year iMac warranty and for three if you have Apple Care. Jot down your iMac's serial number and drop by your Local Apple Store or Apple Service Provider and get it exchanged. > http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/

  • Magic mouse middle button?

    Is there a way to enable the middle button functionality in the magic mouse?. I need it in some of the applications I use.

    Hi gX3 I was wondering what configuration did you apply in the "more gestures app"in order to "pan" in MAYA .

  • 'Loose' trackpad / mouse button ?

    Ok, I am realizing I am whining (no pun intended ) - and all in large I love my MacBook.
    But I keep noticing the mouse button, while working fine, feels very loose, can be depressed just on one side, has a bit of a gap. I checked a few macbooks in the store today, and all the buttons are 'tight' and don't have any play (i.e. unlike mine which has a bit of play before it hits the microswitch).
    Other than being a bit annoying - is this something I can go to the Apple store with? Since the button is' working' - I assume they'll charge for a repair? Also, is my button really that unique?! Are all yours 'stiff and tight' (like the old powerbook ones) ?!
    Thanks for your opinions in advance

    I have the exact same loose button problem with my Macbook - though I have to say the button is very responsive (seems they might have tried to lift it slightly in order to give it more tactile feedback, as people have been complaining of "mush" buttons). I tried to live with it but it is quite annoying since that button is used so often. Also my left side creaks when you carry the laptop or apply some pressure (as the side goes slightly in and out). I was thinking I might be being too anal about a creaking side and loose button and should live with it...
    I have already replaced new Macbooks for a completely broken (unresponsive) trackpad, chip in plastic above keyboard including strange black blemishes/spots on plastic that can't be cleaned. All of them have some degree of "lift" issues on the left side too, but mine was so minor that it didn't bother me. Of course, the risk of returning is always getting an even worse one. So far, none have exhibited mooing, whining, or dead pixels.
    It is very frustrating to hear people complaing of the same issues, but on a positive note, the Apple Store has been extremely kind and happy to make any returns and the process has been extremely speedy and no-hassle. Also, even with these hickups, I absolutely love this machine and in my opinion it is the best laptop out there. I just wish they spent more time on quality control.

  • Magic Mouse loosing Connection

    My magic mouse looses connection with my iMac every few minuites to every few hours.  I have tried replacing the bateries several time.  The only way to make it reconnect is to put the computer to sleep and wake it back up a few times.  What can I do to stop this?

    Greetings,  I had the same problem after the original batteries "died". New batteries 100% charged  after 1-2 min mouse lost connection. Tried Setup of bluetooth mouse many times + new batteries - same result.
    Tried removal of com.apple.Bluetooth.plist - no difference.
    On all my batteries there are a date/manufacturing code stamped in ink under the negative pole . I removed the ink - scraped away with a screwdriver and installed the batteries again. The Magic Mouse is now connected all the time.  This challenge took 3 hrs to solve - hope it will save someone some frustration.

  • Occaisionally my magic mouse looses connection to my iMac

    Occaisionally my magic mouse looses connection to my iMac.  If I power reset the mouse the connection is re-established.  Does anyone have any suggestions how to correct this?

  • Does the magic mouse not have the feature of viewing all open pages on desktop like you do when you use the side buttons of the wired mouse?

    Does the magic mouse not have the feature of viewing all open pages on the desktop like you do when you use the side buttons of the wired mouse?

    No, you'll have to use Mission control for that.  It's either located on the dock, the F3 key on recent laptops on a swipe on the trackpad.

  • Right click button on magic mouse stopped working

    My magic mouse right click has suddenly stopped working. I have looked at the system preferences, and they are set correctly. I disconnected and reconnected it as well. The other thread suggested remove files that don't exist on this version of the OS.

    Yep, have reset PRAM and SMC. Same issue.
    It's actually fairly common - I've found at least 15 topics on this forum about it and a bit of Googleing revealed it wasn't just me. Can't find any topics that have a proper resolution though.
    I did a fair bit of research before posting on here because I didn't want to post a problem that was specific to just me. It seems like it's a fair few people.
    One "solution" is to install a 3rd party piece of software and assign right click to a right "tap" (not a full click) - that's not really a solution, more of a workaround.

    Hi Patrick70
    I will leave you a very brief answer for now, rather an Apple support article. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048
    Please report details on what you tried so far. Do consider reading the entire article at a comfortable pace so that you don't miss anyting relevant.
    I can offer that my magic mouse and wireless keyboard do on rare occassions lose connectivity but the frequency is vert low.
    Also, I would politely recommend that you run Apple Software Update from the Apple menu. I don't know if your system is all uptodate. I doubt this is the issue though.
    I know I haven't provided a lot of substance here but I hope the link I provided at the top is proves resourceful.
