I’ve only owned it for a few weeks so I’m probably not qualified to say yet. So far, 0 complaints.
I use it for typical office work (email, powerpoint, excel) and like yourself no issues. It's fine. The charging on the bottom is never an issue - always get enough notice and it takes minutes to charge up. Plus I like the aesthetics of it.
Is the Magic Mouse comfortable in the hand? I've been using an Apple wired Mouse M5769 and I love the shape and feel of it. The shape of the Magic Mouse looks too flat.
I don't like it. The hand feel is the only problem I really have with it, but it was enough to go and get a $12 corded mouse instead.
I love it... and yes, it's comfortable in my hand.
There are two main ways that people hold the mouse. Some hold it loosely with finger tips and thumb, and for those, the MM is difficult to use. The other group "palms" the mouse and rests their entire hand on the mouse. For those who hold it that way (that's how I hold it), it's quite comfortable.
There's neither a "right" or "wrong" way, but how you hold a mouse in general will dictate whether or not the Apple Magic Mouse works for you.
The Mac mini is used as a media center connected to the TV:
There is also a MacBook Pro in my home office, very minimal style:

Does having the monitor angled that way give you any neck/back pains?
Not really, I never stay more than 45 minutes in front of it. But good point, I should look at a better position. Sometimes I use the Mac a bit tilted indeed.
I hold it loosely with finger tips and thumb. I'll look on E-Bay for an older Apple Mouse or Mighty Mouse.
Try an Apple Magic Trackpad (latest version) for a week and you'll never go back to a mouse!
absolutely. Magic Trackpad FTW. i am unable to use my work windows POS machine after getting so used to trackpad lol
Apple's trackpads really are head and shoulders above anything else out there. Using one on your desktop Mac is a game changer.
yeah i use it with my MacBook Pro as its connected to the dock resting in clamshell mode.
Is there a significant difference between the current trackpads and the much older ones (those that had the batteries), I've got the latter and not a fan of it compared to mouse.
the current trackpad is literally the same as on Macbook. it works like a charm, gestures are amazing. I havent used the older trackpad so cant say!
