How does the Apple Magic Mouse respond to this mousepad? It is a laser mouse, and while I'm NOT doing any gaming I do want precise movement & tracking

It navigates well around the pad. If you are using it for the mouse and the keyboard you may run into movement issues. If it is just for the mouse you may run out of room on your desk... and it is a giant pad for just a mouse. Good luck!

We have two of these mousepads and both of them are being used with the Apple Magic Mouse. It works fantastically. My husband works with one 8 hours a day and loves it. He said he should have gotten it a long time ago because it is the best mousepad he has ever had. The other one is being used by my young children and it works great for them as well. My husband's exact words were "It works flawlessly."

Bill, could you send me your 'goofy' Apple mouse? I can always use an extra one and I like it better than the Logitech. Your assertion that you 'can't do that' (plug in any mouse you want) with the Macbook Pro is, of course, false. You can plug it in and both the mouse and the built-in trackpad work at the same time.I DO like your advice to try out the computer in the store, though. Let me know how that works out with the Dell you recommend, which is only available through mail order...

I have used the current one for close to a year of daily use 5+ hours mostly for FPS gaming and it has worn what I would call the first couple layers down to where it looks smooth in a couple spots. You can't feel these spots while moving the mouse but if the light shines on it you can tell its worn down some, at this point I simply flipped the pad over and had a new pad again because it is so large I only use half of it to begin with. I just noticed they were on sale so I grabbed another one with the purchase of my new mouse I would recommend this pad to anyone for anything. I personally HATE the feeling of the cloth pads if you are looking for a harder surface that will last this is the right one for you!

It is the standard apple Mouse. I use it every day either at home or at work (I have one in each location) and find it fully satisfactory.

This mouse pad does work for laser/optic mouses. I am using a Logitech laser mouse and it works great

Not sure as I have still been leaving this trackpad tied to the USB port on my Mac. Sorry.

Works just fine with my MacBook Pro and Mavericks. The only thing that got me for a while is that moving the mouse does not wake it from sleep. But hitting any button (including the clear button at top next to the scroll wheel) does wake it and reconnects (quickly). The button click gets registered at the OS though.

I use the rival with a fingertip / claw type grip, and it works OK for me. However, as another person answered here, it can be a little unstable or wiggly at times with this grip. I have had an issue with this mouse being a little slippery and I suspect from reading here that it has more to do with the fingertip / claw grip than the mouse itself. However, overall it is not really a major concern, and I am trying to find a mouse pad with more grip to offset this.

Yes, the battery pack comes loose. My Magic Mouse disconnected every time I moved it. Something I did not experience with the standard Apple mouse (with batteries). It was so annoying that I stopped using it after a couple of days. It looks nice, but it doesn't work well at all...

it works as any USB mouse with left/right click buttons and scroll wheel would work on a Mac. It does not do gestures like a magic mouse or pad would do. I really like the ergonomics of this mouse compared to other USB mice.

Yes, I have. The pad does not work at this very moment! I use a wireless mouse. Earlier this week, it did not work. I replaced the battery and it works again. Regarding the pad, have you tried the computer's built-in troubleshooting process?

Using the BM306 on a MacBook Pro with OSX, I did not realize for a good while that moving the mouse does not wake it up and reconnects. Only pushing a button does. The button click is registered by the OS though. May be that is what you are experiencing in Windows as well.

Personally, I never used the mouse provided. It feels like a toy. Also, the Macs mouse is too great to replace. Other than that, this product is perfect

It uses a laser to sense movement. This is in comparison to the old style mouse that has a little ball on the bottom. Laser mice are MUCH more accurate and can be used on almost any surface, and have almost no maintenance.

Ihave Two of the 3M devices, one at work and one at home. Three comments1) the pain in my left forearm and elbo has lessened greatly (love the product) (2) I have had no issues with either device right out of the box, they worked great (3) suggest going to control panel and in the search window (assuming you are on a PC not a Mac) then type in "mouse". Look thru the functions, and reset to your desire bet you can resolve your issue. Have you contacted the seller or manufacturer for assistance? there you havit.

Yes, everything about the Arc Touch mouse works with Mac OS X (Mavericks). You will need to play with the scroll settings to get it to work properly, not as smooth as the scroll feature on the Magic Mouse.
