Apple Store return policy (small items)

Call the store you'd be going to and see what they say.

 

I could understand if it's faulty them letting you give it back, but just because "you don't like it" i'm not sure. I don't think there is a "no questions asked" policy is there (except maybe christmas presents of gifts WITH receipts).

If I had been you I would have spent a while in the applestore trying it out and talked to one of the sales people detailing exactly what you intended to do. They could probably lent you an old cheap mouse, all apple mice have been the same size and style for a while now. I would try to sell it on e-bay if you can't take it back, but being used (and if you used the batteries included too) then the value will have degraded some what.

 

When you purchase an item at a local Apple Store, the return policy is printed on the back. It will also print specifics referring to each item purchased. The nice thing about a local store is that you can ask questions and try the product out prior to purchase.
