Mac magic mouse 2 review

The downside is that the location of the Lightning port on the bottom of the mouse negates the ability to charge and use the mouse simultaneously. So, you'll have to take a coffee break for at least two minutes if you forget to charge the mouse up every month. Ever have problems getting a Bluetooth device, such as the Magic Mouse, to pair with your Mac?

The Magic Mouse 2 solves that problem in a unique way. The pairing is done for you, which is a nice touch, since using Bluetooth to perform the pairing can be troublesome if you're in an environment with lots of Bluetooth devices or Bluetooth-enabled computers. Other improvements for the Magic Mouse 2 include an improved feel to how it glides over a surface.

With the removable battery door gone, Apple was able to tweak the glide sleds for an even better feel. After all, the old Magic Mouse glided across most surfaces without skipping, sticking, or producing tracking errors. While it's fun to look at the improvements Apple made in the Magic Mouse 2, it's also important to note the lack of significant updates.

Experts were expecting Apple to provide an inductive charging system , possibly in the form of a mouse pad that, when the Magic Mouse was placed on it, started charging the mouse while allowing us to keep using it. Half of you guys don't appreciate good stuff. This mouse is great if you wanted a mouse more interactive with your Mac due to the touch abilities. Great size!

Magic Mouse 2: How Good is This Mouse?

Its slim and light. People that complain about the size or fit are just complainers. Maybe customize your own mouse if you are really complaining. If you are complaining about how you can't charge it while using it are finding excuses to bash this product lol maybe charge it while sleeping, showering, the time you are away from the computer???

The price may be high but other brands also have the same price or higher. You pay what you get. I paid for a mouse that is interactive with my Mac just like the trackpad and I'm happy about it. Flag as inappropriate Doesn't deserve 2 stars?? This product is awful. It always loses bluetooth connection.

Apple Magic Mouse 2

When it is connected, it does all sort of actions that weren't intended. Sad to see what has happen to Apple Products. Flag as inappropriate Constantly loses bluetooth connection. Completely worthless without Magic Prefs.

After about a minute of use my hand and wrist is in pain because of the way the mouse has to be held, and having carpel tunnel doesn't help the matter. Very difficult to use the mouse without my ring finger touching the edge of the mouse which causes the page to move around and makes it quite difficult to click on what you wanted to click on.

If apple is smart they will support Magic Prefs or design their own Magic Prefs type software. You need to start listening to your customers.

Is Apple's Magic Mouse 2 design brilliant or a dud?

Flag as inappropriate Magic Mouse 2. I got this mouse as a gift and thought it was a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a mouse. It took a little getting used to but it wasn't exactly love at first sight. I didn't notice my attachment to it was growing. The first time I had to use a different mouse, it was instantly obvious why this thing is so spectacular and geared toward Mac users.

I can not use Photoshop with any other mouse now. It really is incredible.

Yes, it's super inconvenient that the charging port is on the underside and the mouse can't be used while it's charging. However, I've had my mouse for 7 months. I use it hours per day. I have only charged it twice. It's astounding. So if I only have to charge it every couple of months, I can deal with not using it in the meantime. I have no idea if this has any affect, but I turn it off every time I'm not using it. The durability is also quite shocking. The top layer almost resembles thick glass, so the first time I dropped it five feet down onto the cement, I was sure it was a goner.

I'm not proud at how clumsy and inattentive I am, but Much to my surprise, I dropped this thing onto literal cement times before it had enough. By that I mean the mouse still works flawlessly, but it will no longer charge.

At this point, I don't blame Apple at all -- on the contrary, I am impressed by how much of a beating it took and how it actually still functions! I am back to purchase a second one. I swear by these things. Don't buy it. Here are the reasons: How do I know it is not a defective mouse? I had it replaced and nothing changed, Also, Apple engineering department confirmed that this is how it is. How do I know it is not just me? I have been using mice since they first appeared on the scene, it's not me. Look, I want to have Apple products as much as the next guy, after all they're great - except this one.

HORRIBLE PRODUCT

I've been using this product for 3 Months now. Magic Mouse 2 with Magic Battery: Really Happy with this product, No Complain, it does as mentioned in specs. Flag as inappropriate Wonderful Product. Good for both left- and right-handed use. Automatically pairs with Macs via Bluetooth.

Been through this before

Ships with Lightning-to-USB cable. Cannot use the mouse while it is charging. Shallow design doesn't fill the curve of your hand. The Apple Magic Mouse 2 looks and feels the same as its predecessor, and now comes with rechargeable batteries. Its minimalist design may not be comfortable for everyone, however, and the Lightning port isn't in the best location. One of the biggest gripes that Mac users have with the Apple Magic Mouse is its relatively short battery life.

Apple has heard the plight of its users, and introduces the Magic Mouse 2 as standard equipment for new iMacs, including the latest Apple iMac Upgrades include rechargeable batteries and an idiot-proof pairing process. Design and Features Side by side, the Magic Mouse 2 looks just like the Apple Magic Mouse, with the same white, polycarbonate, arched profile. It's 0. It glides on a pair of low-friction strips, tracking just as smoothly as the last Magic Mouse.

Multitouch commands are easy to execute, including swiping left and right between browser pages, and up and down between full-screen apps, and bringing up Mission Control with a double-tap of two fingers. If you flip the mouse over, you'll notice two things that are new: There's no battery-access door, and there's a Lightning port in the base. Plus, once you plug the mouse into your Mac, it automatically pairs over Bluetooth.
