The Magic Mouse is not for everyone. I bought one for evaluation, thinking I'd get two more for my other Macs if I liked it, but I just can't work with it. It looks great and the scrolling and other multitouch stuff is very nice, but from an ergonomic point of view the shape is just all kinds of wrong. You can't cup your hand around it, you just sort of nudge it around like some curious looking vegetable on your plate. I guess it's OK for casual surfing and other light tasks, but if you're doing serious work at your computer 10 hours a day you'll end up with carpal tunnel syndrome all the way down to your ankles if you rely on a Magic Mouse. It's not a tool[/], it's a... thing. It's like trying to run a marathon on high heels (not that I've worn any). Also, the tracking speed appears a tad slower than the Mighty Mouse (as if that one wasn't slow as molasses already), so you need a mouse pad the size of a ping pong table.
I now very reluctantly stick with my wireless Mighty Mouse. It was never an ideal mouse either, but at least it feels good in your hand. I would much prefer a Logitech mouse, but I guess I'm letting form go before function here... I just bought white desks, white JustMobile AluPad mouse pads and the keyboards are obviously white, so black mice stick out like sore thumbs. It's a wonder why neither Logitech nor Microsoft nor any other mouse manufacturers will consider white/silver editions of their high-end mice to match Macs (Logitech have a couple of white alternatives, but it's only low end crap models). Apple were a sitting duck for years when all they offered was the Mighty Mouse which 7 out of 10 people seemingly hated, but no third party came to the rescue... give me a white Performance MX and I'll stockpile a dozen of them immediately.
Another thing Apple needs to work on with their mice is reducing friction... my Logitech mice slide silently, but both the Mighty M and the Magic M have this nails-on-chalkboard noise on hard mousepads, it feels like you're sandpapering your desk.
