And (sadly), no middle button function... Be sure to run Software Update; there is a driver update that won’t download until you pair your mouse with the Mac. And (sadly), no middle button function…

I'm sure there will be a learning curve associated with it, but as with the multi-touch trackpad on my macbook, once I got used to it, it works really well. @Julie – the store was so crowded that I didn’t get to play too much with the mouse at the time.

Web pictures do NOT do it justice. It is so sleek and beautiful - the store had none in stock so I went online and had to order one.

Although if you did plug it in it may move and click but don't know about the other features. Middle mouse button...hmmmm...good question. According to Magic Mouse System Requirements you need:

Where's the middle button click? I've looked everywhere and can't find it. Unless someone like Steermouse develops a driver and permits a two-fingered click as "middle click"...! Oh no! WAIT A SEC.

So, I can't pick one up & use it with my aging G5 tower at work? Hmmmmm. From another tech site:
