Cons

The Magic Mouse can be a bit uncomfortable for some.
Learning curve necessary; doesn't work with Windows PCs; no pinching and pulling to adjust zoom
Slightly Heavy
Power swipers and those with large hands could find the mouse difficult to handle.
Doesn’t work with PCs, Slender design may not work for everyone.
Terribly uncomfortable to hold, Almost impossible side-to-side swiping, Install directions could be clearer, Bloated 100MB drivers, No rechargeable batteries, Packing tape left debris, *
Multi-Touch features work with Macs only. Mouse isn't large enough to fill the natural curve of your hand.
Low profile may not be comfortable for bigger hands; limited to two buttons; limited customization options.
Awkwardly narrow profile; doesn't work with Windows PCs; laser sensor not as advanced as Darkfield and BlueTrack competition; horizontal swipes don't feel as natural as thumb buttons; can't customize swiping functions; no pinching.

It's about time. For years, Apple has embraced aesthetic simplicity over practicality with its peripherals. Single-button mice! Yes, we know Apple hasn't made single-button mice for a long time, but why in the world did Steve Jobs ever think...
