How does the Apple Magic Mouse respond to this mousepad? It is a laser mouse, and while I'm NOT doing any gaming I do want precise movement &amp; tracking

We have two of these mousepads and both of them are being used with the Apple Magic Mouse. It works fantastically. My husband works with one 8 hours a day and loves it. He said he should have gotten it a long time ago because it is the best mousepad he has ever had. The other one is being used by my young children and it works great for them as well. My husband's exact words were "It works flawlessly."

Thanks, here it is a site that has the last driver as I just find out. It is a genuine website, not like all others sending you around the bushes.Do you know by any chance what's the major difference between an optical mouse and a laser one (beside the price)?As far as I know, it is about the surface they are used, the optical being able to navigate on about everything.ThanksDan

Using the BM306 on a MacBook Pro with OSX, I did not realize for a good while that moving the mouse does not wake it up and reconnects. Only pushing a button does. The button click is registered by the OS though. May be that is what you are experiencing in Windows as well.

I personally removed it from my desk top pc and plugged it into my MacBook PRO 2010 (OSX 10.8.4). The MBP saw the mouse as a external keyboard and requested a driver. I checked and found no support for a Mac (mouse) driver. So this mouse did not work for me with a MAC. If one of the others who replied could explain how they tested and made it work, that would be more helpful.

It's designed for laser mice but you may have some luck with optical mice, particularly "quality" optical mice. Another thing to note is that mice with small friction pads may feel very scratchy on this pad but mice with large PTFE feet work great.

Unfortunately it does NOT work with Mac. Just with pc's. If you want a track pad for Mac, you have to buy one specifically for Mac.PS- I agree with Jesus L. It sucks.

I use the Steelseries QCK mousepad, works brilliantly with the optic laser the Spawn uses, to keep in mind tho is never to use a plastic mousepad for an optical mouse, it doesnt work and it's very important it's a dark colour for the best response. So any mousepad will do as long it doesn't have a plastic surface or a bright colour.

Hi jgardner@tconl.com, I have a 21.5 inch iMac (2011) that came with a Apple Wireless Keyboard and a Magic Mouse, and I bought both Mobee Technology Magic Charger and Magic Bar and it works great. Never encountered any problems. No problems with fitting to my Magic Mouse and Keyboard, nor connection loss or never a weak signal. No more AA-batteries that I have to buy!! Hurahh!

This mouse pad does work for laser/optic mouses. I am using a Logitech laser mouse and it works great

Yes. I also have the Mac multi touch Magic Mouse and I prefer the arc touch mouse. The Magic Mouse is a little too sensitive as the entire surface is a touch surface. Where as the buttons on the arc touch are plain plastic. Only the mouse wheel area is a touch based surface. So it offers more reliable control.

I sent mine back - upon consultation with the Iris people they seem to have no intention of making a Mac version. Their marketing needs to make it more clear that this mouse is not usable with Macs.

This is an optical mouse, aka light-emitting diode to detect movement relative to a surface. "Logitech Advanced Optical Tracking: Enjoy point-and-click precision" I bought this for my girlfriend and works fine for what she uses it for. She has small hands and fits perfect. I have an optical mouse for work and for gaming. Works fine. No issues to report. Good luck.

Track pack is not the best, especially if you are used to Mac's superior track pad but its doable. Just use it with light touch, heavy force tends to make it jumpy. I just light touch and slight tab instead of pressing down seem to resolve the jumpiness issue.

I have a few months with it and have had not a problem with the trackpad... Its a great macbook, I'm really impressed with the speed.

Yes--and I find that the scroll wheel works more responsively--smoothly, if you will--than several of my other mouse choices. I have put the expen$ive Apple mouse that came with my new iMac in the drawer and use this one instead.

Hi Daniel. I can't say as I haven't experienced that mouse pad. But I can tell you that the mouse pad is excellent for my gaming and general use. it is very responsive to my Razer Mamba mouse. Hope that helps in some way.

Personally, I never used the mouse provided. It feels like a toy. Also, the Macs mouse is too great to replace. Other than that, this product is perfect
