Apple’s Magic Mouse is pretty to look at, fun to swipe and click with, but is murder on your fingers and wrist. This baby is like an attractive dominatrix with a pension for hurting your hands. Luckily, MMFixed (Magic Mouse Fixed) has come up with a solution. It’s literally a blob of silicone that allows your wrist to be supported at a normal angle. It’s held in place by suction and takes over just under half of your Magic Mouse.
If you’re on the fence about buying a Magic Mouse or own one and need to decide if you should continue to use it, plan on buying this blob. It’s about $12 US and comes with free shipping. Might be worth a try. Engadget has a great photo gallery of their MMFixed blob in action.

This product is a useless, heavy piece of plastic that makes the magic mouse nearly twice as heavy as it is on it’s own. DO NOT BUY.
Totally useless. I did buy it and have to send the stupid thing back to the US to get a $12 refund. And they haven’t even told me where to send it, great, thanks.
By the time I have paid postage from the UK, it will not leave me with much left over but just on principle, I will do it as it is SO badly designed.
The whole problem with the magic mouse is the weight of it, NOT the shape of it, for me and lots of other people. I use it for long periods of time, and depending what I am doing, it can make my wrist more or less painful.
Actually now I don’t use it so much, I don’t have any pain but this MM ‘Fixed” makes the mouse SOOOOO much heavier, the shape of it really isn’t an issue, the sales video for mm fixed makes it seem like it is but for me it is JUST the weight of the mouse, so this product is outstandingly the most useless thing in the world.
I hope this stops other people from buying it and I wish I had found people saying this before I bought it.
