The Magic Mouse has it all, including the corny name. It has a smooth surface with no buttons or wheels, yet it works the same as a PC mouse, plus a whole lot more. My right-click is too ingrained still to ignore that, so the first and only customization I made to the mouse was to enable right clicking. OK, no problem, I even mastered the vertical screen scroll the PC scoll wheel does, swipe your finger the same way in the middle of the mouse, without the wheel. OK, pretty cool. But there's more.
You can scroll horizontally within your window, just move your finger right or left (or even an at an angel) and it moves around inside your window that way. Honestly I haven't needed this much yet, but when I get Photoshop on it I'm sure that will be very handy!
OK, not bad, but what else, you ask? One feature I use a lot is the two-fingered scroll. Want to go back in your web browser? Put two fingers on the mouse and slide them both to the left at the same time. Want to go forward? Slide them right. That is a big time saver, not having to find the back button in the upper left of the screen or the backspace key on the PC.
Still want more? Hold down the control key while scrolling up or down with your finger - it zooms the entire screen! The resolution on a 27" iMac is a whopping 2560x1440! But realistically, font size looks about the same as 1280x1024 on my wimpy little 17" PC monitor, there are just that many more pixels! So you want to zoom in on something to see it better? CTRL-swipe up.
And yes, there's more! My favorite part of the mouse is something I've adapted to quickly and barely notice already, except when comparing it to my PC (which I haven't quite given up entirely yet). Scroll With Momentum means the faster you move your mouse, the faster and farther it moves. Moving it slowly gives you more precision, quickly gives you greater power, you could scroll the length of this article with one quick movement!
And it works without a mousepad!
