How easily does your Magic Mouse scratch?

[TheSpaz]

Mine has slight SLIGHT scratches in it from where I scroll, but they're really hard to see unless you hold the mouse from a strange angle and study it.

Just use the mouse and forget it. You won't see the scratches from where you're sitting and it's not like they're deep ugly scratches… just very faint light scratches.

I'm pretty obsessive compulsive and I don't even care about scratches on my mouse.

Like all of my Apple products, ipod touch, macbook pro 13, mighty mouse and magic mouse. No signs of scratches. In fact my macbook pro 13 has no scratches whatsoever, it still looks brand new. I take extra care of them all. If you worry about scratching your magic mouse, try covering it with saran wrap. That should keep scratches or smudges off of it. I suppose there will be third party protectors for the magic mouse soon.

MCDJ,
How did you manage to get that many scratches on your Magic Mouse. It give the mouse a new look, in fact it gives it personality. If I send you mine, can you scratch it for me?

No scratches here. Why would there be any?

Does the surface even scratch?

I think its a photoshop. If you were being sarcastic sorry.

lol, you guys are blind, the magic mouse scratches super easily, just like Apple's old white macbooks.. obviously though its not very noticeable, unless you look for it.. Mines got even more scratched when i tried to clean it with the cloth included.. but meh you can't really do anything about it....

I spilt a drop of coke on my Magic mouse but couldn't find a cloth, so used an emery board to get it off... sanded it pretty lightly, but now it's SO SO scratched!!... ARGGH!!!

I just bought a bar of chocolate, but I am afraid to bit into it, in case it dents...

Do you guys have OCD or something?. Calm down, it's just a mouse. If you're spending more time gazing at it than using it, then you probably have deeper problems than worrying about scratches.

Mine's not scratched. But the mouse does dirty a lot on the bottom rails.

Guys, stop obsessing over your peripherals, and start using them. You shouldn't have enough time to go all OCD on them.

Apart from the ignorance of the few less civil-mannered commentators/owners over this mouse's scratch-ability, I dare say this mouse does scratch - if dropped. Mine already, has suffered two patterns of scratches in a line vertically across the mouse with a length of one centimetre. No user is safe from this, as I have experienced already; yet I have allowed myself to suffer the use of my mouse with my scrolling; although, it is somewhat of a disappointment for me to feel those scratches as I have been once used to the gentle surface of the mouse long before.

The solution? "Novus Polish Kit, Plastic Polish & Scratch Remover, 2oz" can be found on Amazon for a mere ten dollars; and free shipment, if combined with some other item for a total of five-and-twenty dollars. The application is not difficult, though requires some time to mend the mouse anew.

I have always thought that I, alone was only to have experienced this issue with the magic mouse, but that is not the case as this is not exclusively the only Apple product that scratches - e.g. an iPod. So I the OP thank for bringing up this discussion.

Mine is only days old and had a sharp scratch not the edge exactly where I pit my thumb. Its driving me crazy.

ZERO Scratch. Mine is invisible shielded since first day that i took it off the box.

i've not had a single scratch on my magic mouse and I've really been putting it through the paces. It's a mighty fine mouse as far as I am concerned.

Wow..

Hold it to the light and see if you don't find a myriad of fine scratches.

Stop crying little girl, stop crying so much. It was made to move cursor, not to stroke and to touch. Your compulsive disorders are all in your mind, so just use the **** mouse, and leave whining behind!.

Seriously, get over it you whining prissy buffoons - if you can afford a Mac, you can afford another one, should you be so stupidly OCD that you can't BEAR a tiny scratch or ten (hundred).

Grow a spine, there are people in Africa who have nothing, and you're crying over THIS?. Bourgeois fools.
