I have struggled with the Magic Mouse for over a week. It loses connection, the tracking is jerky and it just turns itself off and often I have to re-pair it. I have a new MacBook Pro and it usually is connected to an Apple 24" cinema display. My new Apple bluetooth keyboard arrived today. It paired almost immediately and works like a dream -- like I expect my Apple gear to do.
I rearranged my desktop to use the keyboard -- MBP on the left (screen open), display in front and (not very) Magic Mouse on the right. After getting the mouse paired again,(by putting it next to the MBP) I found that the mouse would immediately lose connection when I moved it to the right side of the desk. OK, I rearranged things again with the MBP on the right and using the palm rest on the MBP as a mousepad and voila, the (not so) Magic Mouse works great. It tracks well, it doesn't lose connection. All I have to do is use my MBP as a mousepad....
I wonder if the problems reported with the (not very) Magic Mouse are related to its ability to receive or transmit a signal? My desk is wood, the only metal is my computer, keyboard and monitor. (BTW -- battery level is 89%)
