I'm thinking of getting one.

Don't necessarily need one, but miss having one from my iMac days.

Surprised that the black version is £20 more expensive than the white one. Suits me, as I prefer white, anyway.

Question: I notice it has two black strips on the bottom of the mouse; are these made of rubber? Am I right in concluding that it'd be ok to use it no a wooden desk, without a mouse mat? Do the black strips wear down quickly?

Yes I do all the time, no problems on wooden desk.
The strips are not rubber, some hardwearing compound like Teflon, which slides easily, though they pick up a bit of easily removed dirt after several months.
The strips do not wear out.

Brilliant design. You can't use it while it's charging. You have to buy a backup mouse.

I'd use the trackpad whilst charging.

How long does it take to charge, by the way? Apparently it lasts for a couple of months between charges.

It does last quite a while between charges. And with just the slightest bit of forethought you can just charge it for a couple hours when you're not using it. And if you accidentally run the battery down anyway, a 10-minute charge would probably buy you at least an hour or two. That doesn't stop people from whinging, though!

I myself do not care for the low profile of the Magic Mouse. There's just not much to grab on to, IMO. I do recommend these, which attach very nicely and make it a bit easier to grip: https://www.elevationlab.com/products/magicgrips-for-magic-mouse?variant=24591427137

Thanks for the link, which I'll keep in mind.

What colour did you got for, by the way?

I like white, which is good, because the black one is £20 more expensive. Can't see how they justify the price increase, as they haven't even given it a "Pro moniker.
