Is The Apple Magic Mouse Laser Or Optical?

The Apple Magic Mouse is a multi-touch wireless mouse sold by Apple Inc. and manufactured by Foxconn. It introduced multi-touch functionality to a computer mouse, taking after the iPhone, iPod Touch, and multi-touch MacBook. The first-generation Magic Mouse was released on October 20, 2009, and introduced multi-touch functionality. The mouse is wireless and rechargeable, with an optimized foot design that allows it to glide smoothly across your desk. The Multi-Touch surface allows users to perform simple gestures such as swiping between web pages.

The Magic Mouse laser tracking engine provides a smooth, consistent experience across more surfaces than traditional optical tracking systems. Apple has upgraded to laser tracking from the Apple (formerly Mighty) Mouse’s optical tracking, offering greater accuracy over more surfaces. The Magic Mouse uses powerful laser tracking that is far more sensitive and responsive on more surfaces than traditional optical tracking, meaning it tracks with precision on nearly every surface without the need for a mousepad.

The Magic Mouse connects wirelessly to a Mac computer via Bluetooth and is powered by two AA batteries. It operates using a solid-state laser tracking sensor like the Apple Magic Bluetooth Wireless Laser Mouse. The Magic Mouse weighs 105g with batteries and features movement detection technology. The Magic Mouse line is wireless mice for Apple Macintosh computers, with an optimized foot design that allows it to glide smoothly across your desk.
