Jerry, I have exactly the same problem as you. I use the Magic Mouse on a 2014 MBP. I've found that it does what you describe primarily when using the Chrome browser. It used to be fine until I installed Magnet, then I started having problems. If I use Safari instead of Chrome, the magic mouse works just fine.

I already know what kind of responses I'll get, but I'm asking anyway. I found that using the Apple mouse with my iMac 21.5" was hit or miss. I'd often have to hit the left or right side of the mouse more than once to get a response. I'm now using a Logitech wireless, and it's a lot better. Still, it's isn't nearly as good as on my Windows desktop. On a Windows computer, clicking either right or left give me instant, perfect results. With the iMac, it's still hit or miss. Has anyone else noticed the imprecision of a mouse with an Apple? The same thing applies to my iMac 27" (Now there's an image - a mouse with an apple. )

And why do they have to call it a 21.5"?

The only problem that I have had with the Apple mouse is that sometimes it works backward.. But I turn it over and all is well...

Not being an Apple person I'm wondering what is so magical about a Magic Mouse? Will it get me a cup of coffee and not spill it on the keyboard?

I always use Logitech wireless mice, primarily the M510.

When Apple tells you it is Magic we all believe it must be Magic!!

Hi Jerry, I use a Mac at work and use an Apple Magic Track pad and LOVE IT! I hate mice. Might try that and see what you think. Cheers.

The Apple magic mouse has no wheel, but it scrolls up, down and right, left no buttons you can see. The scroll way faster than the Logitechs I use on my PC and laptop.

I am a full-blown Mac user. The mouse on my IMac is a wired rollerball. I have used these for many years - no issues.

Since I use a few graphics programs, I prefer wired mice. My laptop was giving problems with a Microsoft mouse that was fine for years. Finally bought a Logitech Gaming mouse. Works great.
