The one thing that all reviewers always miss out is the fact that the Magic Mouse can be used with BetterTouchTool, which gives it all the same gestures as a trackpad. For many web developers if they were to have something like a Logitech mouse they would also have to use a trackpad with it. The beauty of having trackpad technology on a mouse is that there are an unlimited amount of options, where as a Logitech mouse with physical buttons and slow horizontal-scroll very is limited.
The curved trackpad on the magic mouse is the reason why the magic mouse is still relevant even in 2022! Most reviewers mentioned the obvious flaws, but there are many upsides to the magic mouse that aren't mentioned.
@@paldepind I know, I currently use the MX Master 3 as my main mouse, but the gestures are limited to the number of buttons. I love the MX Master and MX Anywhere, but the Magic Mouse is the next best mouse on the market for office use. I know web developers who have both mice but favour the Magic Mouse.
@@paldepind so does my Razer with programmable buttons. But then, these gesture buttons have quite a learning curve which requires a fair amount of trial and error to figure the best macros. Magic Mouse is better in a sense the gestures are very intuitive to learn yet very productive although there’s lack of customisation.
@@benfrisbee1762 magic mouse is not bad, the sensor is just OK though and I, as a 190cm tall person (with huge hands) find it not very comfortable (it is too damn small :D ) but I like the minimalist look and still okay to use
i think its kind of pointless to complain about the lightning port, if it lasts months then you're never really gonna worry about what type of charger it uses on a daily basis.
I couldn't care less about the aesthetics, but I use it for the multi-touch gestures. If anyone has alternatives for a mouse that does the same, I need to know!
The most outstanding point of the magic mouse is definitely the capability of using touch gestures. You. completely missed out that point. For someone who uses this feature daily, it is extremely practical and handy. Second, i just cant understand, why everyone is complaining about the charging port being at the bottom side of the mouse. The battery life of the Magic Mouse is (in my experience) amazing, lasting at least 3 to maybe even 4 months, and even if its empty, you charge it 5 mins to get many many hours of usage. and 3rd (not so important), for me, someone who has for example AirPods and an old iPad, the lightning port really isn't the problem (of course, this depends). Finally i want to say that im not just an Apple Fanboy. I completely agree with the ergonomics being horrific, making working over several hours hard...
I have zero issues with the mouse. I have small hands which I think helps. I get zero cramps. However, I think Apple should redesign it to include USB-C charging on the end and perhaps a bit larger for those with larger hands.
I have zero issues with the magic mouse. Great battery life, with the gestures it almost functions as a mouse + trackpad into one and honestly, I'm fed up with the discussion of the charging port. Yes it's on the bottom, no that's not a problem. I've been using it for the past six years professionally and have yet come to a point where it has an empty battery and I need to charge it during hours I need to do stuff. It's not as convenient as to put your mouse on a docking station and charge it every night, overnight. I just plug it in during lunch breaks, shower breaks, .. whatever kind of break and it charges quite quickly. Oh, and if they put the port on the front, it would've been a huge design compromise, making it a lot more ugly / less uniform.
idk why everyone just flat out ignores the gesture support with the magic mouse. no need to set up macros or any other weird workaround to get half the functionality. it just works out of the box with an imac.
I'm still looking for an alternative to my Magic Mouse... I love the fact of it is touch-based, and I really don't want to get back to the scroll wheel...
I think the charging port is on the bottom because Apple doesn’t want anyone to use the mouse while charging, aka using a wireless mouse with a cable attached to it. This way you could make a product the were working on hard look bad, old-fashioned etc… I think this might be the case.
And it's actually reasonable if that's the case cause people tend to overdo things and abuse products and in the process, they could end up harming themselves...not just the product...
The battery life is also fantastic, everyone makes it seem like they’re having to stop what they’re doing mid-day and charge it. Check the battery life every few weeks and when it’s low enough charge it overnight. The mouse is great.
If it was easy to plug in lots of people would leave it charging all the time and the battery would wear out really fast. Annoying but probably good for the longevity of it.
@@adamblyth9972 a mouse with battery that can last an entire month after like 9hours charging that can be done at anytime you’re not working... c’mon... It’s not like you’ll have to pause your work every time to charge it, just charge whenever you’re resting or sleeping or going out... If you’re charging while using the mouse, you’ll be abusing it.
One huge issue I have with the new magic mouse is that I can not turn off the swiping feature. Try using a magic mouse while using the street view in Google Maps. A bloody nightmare. The magic mouse will just change the magnification of the street view with the slightest movement of one's hand on the mouse. Click on an arrow in the google map's street view and of course the magic mouse will decide to enlarge or shrink the view. This swiping feature also does things in other programs, many times screwing up something you are working on. This is especially true when using CAD programs. Why in the name of all that is Holy did Apple not allow a user to turn off the swiping feature in the mouse settings. Anyway, the only fix I found was to use an older USB wired mouse with a scroll wheel as opposed to the irritating Apple mouse that has no way of turned off the swiping feature if I am using a CAD program or want to use the street view in Google Maps.
I have a Magic Trackpad these days (I ordered it with the new iMac last year) but I still keep my Magic Mouse 2 around. I like having the option and love the multi touch gestures. Any normal mouse drives me insane 😅
Same for me. I have a regular "PC" mouse but keep switching back to the Apple mouse. Not deliberately but when using the regular mouse, I can't help but notice how often/convenient some of the gestures are on the magic mouse
I have a green magic mouse that came with my green M1 iMac (it replaced my 2007 iMac and a noisy "touch" Microsoft mouse) and it did take a while to learn how to hold the thing. I hold it with my thumb on one side and with my pinky and ring finger on the other. I admit that it did hurt my hand at first but my hand no longer hurts after a couple months of using it. I like the weight that it has and the two long feet on the bottom make it easy to move on different surfaces. The lazer is very accurate as well (just don't hold the mouse backwards, the pointer will go the opposite way).
I really like that white pattern wall you have, what is it? Would you be able to post a link to where you found the panels or whatever it is? Looks nice
Alright, my take on this topic: First, quick backstory: I bought an M1 iMac a couple of months ago, and I *REALLY* didn't have any more budget to upgrade to a Magic Trackpad - During the initial setup, it asks you to connect the Magic Mouse, so I did and started using it. At first I thought at the end of the setup I wouldn't like the Magic Mouse and use my old mouse instead. I was SO wrong, I don't think I'm going to use my old mouse ever again (unless the charge runs out and I really need that mouse) I really like the quality, it's Apple quality so it's * mwah * (that was supposed to be a chef's kiss btw ;-;). It only took me a few days to get used to this form factor. I was kinda confused on how to hold it, but a quick TH-cam tutorial taught me how :) (pro tip, INCREASE THE TRACKING SPEED IN SYSTEM SETTINGS. TRUST ME. Also enable right click too, I have NO idea why it's disabled by default.) The ergonomics aren't too bad for me, I can use the mouse for hours and not get cramps. Though if you have big hands or something, using this might feel uncomfortable. I know it's a paid program, but nobody mentions BetterTouchTool so might as well. It's basically a program to let you make/customize a lot of shortcuts with the Magic Mouse. It's not specific to the Magic Mouse though, it also has some other device options like: Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, MacBook keyboard, MacBook trackpad, Normal Mouse etc. It's really powerful so you should at least download the *trial* to see if you like it. The mouse does work on Windows as well, just the pairing might be slightly harder. And lastly, no. The charging port really didn't bother me. As the guy said, it only takes 2 minutes for 9 hours of charge, and a full charge should last you around 2 months. So just grab some coffee, sit back, relax, and wait for your mouse to charge.
Thanks for the honest and straightforward review. As a windows-recent-mac-convert, I've been using my windows hardware on my new mac mini and really wanted to take the full plunge and buy Apple stuff to accompany it. I was unsure if I should fork out the $$ for this mouse. Anyways, I thought you were personable and your video was good enough for me to watch it to completion. Subscribed! :)
The reason people love them is for the multitouch gestures. It's a touchpad on top of a mouse, and that let's you do a lot of things that other mice don't. Once you get used to using it, you probably won't want to go back. If people didn't like them, you see them used cheap from apple users who switched back. You don't.
I depend on this shit because I use the zoom and Pro Tools at the same time, there a lot you can do with the built in trackpad, unfortunately there’s no other product like it on the market
I understand your point of view. But I bought my first Mac, a Mac mini 2020, and also a Magic Mouse. I chose a third party Mac keyboard btw. And even despite my complete lack of knowledge about Macs, after using Windows all my life, I got used to this mouse in a couple of days and fell in love with it very much! I am very comfortable using it. Also still like its clean design.
I recently switched to a Mac mini and I'm looking for a new mouse. The charging cable placement is something I'm willing to put up with. Could you elaborate about how the touch gestures, and middle click/scroll, feel? That's the selling point of it to me. My most used program is probably Blender. It has a lot of right-click-drag and middle mouse button scrolling/click-dragging. I was hoping the touch surface would be more pleasant for that.
@@Tatrabbit I used it for almost a year. The gestures are easy to learn, amazing and fluid, pretty much what you expect from an apple product. I particularly enjoy using it for switching between desktops and swiping between web pages. This is the best mouse anyone can get for general computer usage. But I wouldn't recommend this mouse if you're using it for extended periods of time (e.g. gaming) or for precision.
They sell the black one by itself now. I’ve got all 3 generations of the Mx master and have a 3S at home and the office and recently put my office MX aside for the Magic Mouse. Here’s my thoughts. I couldn’t care less about the charging port. If it gets low, I still have enough to last through the day and plug in when I leave. Better touch tool unlocks a MOUNTAIN of potential with gestures and tweaks to touch areas, sensitivity, etc. it can now, function-wise, do everything my MX master could do and more. I’ve trashed a couple MX’s because the rubber sides eventually get tacky and gross. There is no way to stop it from happening or fix it (that I know of) and this material doesn’t exist on the MM. same for the lack of scroll wheel to get dirty and that’s a pain to clean. It took me a while to get used to holding the MM but I’ve always been claw grip so the adjustment wasn’t too bad. Lastly, and the biggest thing, is connectivity. I’ve tried 3 MX 3S’s and all 3 had laggy and stutters with Bluetooth on both my M1 Mac mini and my M1 Max MBP. Using the bolt connector fixes that but only if using a usb c port on the bacbook itself…a thunderbolt dock port still has lag and stutter with the bolt adapter. The MM gives me a port back on my Macs and has been 100% silky smooth.
Been using mine for 13 years now, the original one which still used batteries. It's great and I wouldn't change it for anything. What I love most: Thanks to no scroll wheel it never collects dust or dirt. Previously I used Microsoft mice and always had to change them because the scroll wheel would just get gross over time.
I like the functionalities of the Magic Mouse, but it is so incredibly slow. I have the Magic Mouse 1 since 2012, and I tried changing the speed using Terminal. The value you get by default is 3 - I put it to 1000, 10000, and 1000000, and it is still too slow. I don't understand why they won't fix that issue.
@@ESMorg 2012 technology has nothing to do with the mouse speed. The speed and acceleration of this mouse is designed that way. There are a number of third party app to tune the mouse behaviour.
Hello all, I have moved from an iMac 27 inch form 2013 to an iPad Air 5 with Apple Smart Keyboard and Apple Magic Mouse 2. I must say I was kinda unsure if I could make the jump, and I must say, I don’t miss the iMac. Yes, I work with my iPad, so I am a heavy user.
Im kind of mad I spent money on the magic mouse lol. It's so uncomfortable, especially if you have larger hands or long fingers, like me. I've switched over to the Logitech MX Master 3S (fantastic mouse by the way) recently and the only thing I miss about the magic mouse is the ability to double tap to activate mission control on Mac, and that's about it. Definitely not worth the money imo.
@@anasabbadi2299 I ended up doing that later and use the scroll wheel button to activate mission control lol. Now I just wish there was a way to change the natural scroll direction in the Logitech Options software for the horizontal scroll wheel. I've never really gotten used to scrolling that way with a mouse and trackpad. Still feels backwards to me.
I am a dev and use a Magic Mouse v1 for years and for work and my hand is all fine. I agree that the design and ergonomics are far from being optimal plus also considering that the v2 is not much of an improvement. I decided to change and went for the Logitech MX Master 3S for Mac and I returned it cause the pointer and the main scroll lag terribly on Mac OS Ventura (many people seem to experience the same). I am backing up to using the Magic Trackpad 2022 :)
I have a Razer mouse for my mac and the scrolling is terrible. I ended up downloading a 3rd party utility from github but it still doesn't scroll smooth like the Razer does on my windows laptop or like an Apple mouse or trackpad does on my Mac.
Wish Apple would bring back the old Mighty Mouse design. I know everyone hated the Mighty Mouse, especially gamers, but man I'm a master with this mouse. I especially love the squeeze button feature.
i feel this. over time the magic mouse glass top just gets loose and the bottom is loud if i want to take my desk pad off. i like having a track pad and a mouse handy on my desk. i have the MX Anywhere 3 and the space gray track pad. i usually like having both because sometimes my carpel tunnel flares with any mouse. -_- sucks. great video!
I couldn't agree more and that leaves me with the question of alternatives? Any suggestions? And honestly I don't like the Logitech MX-Master-S-2... thanks for the cool video!
It's very awkward to use and not comfortable - i've changed back to my gaming mouse I use on my PC for easy of use. The lack of scroll wheel is awful the touch controls are really awkward. The battery really impressed me though.
@@damnfreakingsien I wasn't using it for gaming just for work. Still felt i had less control with the magic mouse so just use my gaming mouse for everything now.
I’m considering the Magic Mouse - mainly as a travel mouse. I’d still use my trackpad + Logitech g608 at home…but on the go, the Magic Mouse looks like a really convenient solution.
MX Master FTW. I got a free Magic Mouse that's now 12 years old yesterday, and decided to switch out to the Magic Mouse to try it for a few days. I used to use it as my daily mouse for a couple years until I got a Razer Oroborous, and I enjoyed it. With the touch surface it does most of the same things the MX Master does (but not all, and not as well). I love the design (white or black, I don't really care), so I'm going to stick with it until I get tired of it. But the MX Master has been my daily mouse for about 2 years.
I'm a developer and have been on the windows platform forever, recently moving more over to the Apple side and find many Apple-esque things super annoying. Mostly, the right click of the trackpad doesn't actually bring up right-click functionality. Seriously? We have to hold down Option+Click? WTF!? I'm hoping getting a mouse for this Macbook Pro gives me some control over that. Anyone know? Anyone feel my pain?
Hello at apple we decided to get rid of everything useful, yes that right this mouse is about as useless as it gets. Here is the short list of everything we can do. 1: Its very light 2: Good batter life 3: Terrible long term use 4: We got rid of the right muse button because who like useful things 5: We got rid of the scroll whele because who no one enjoys being able to have a nice constant scroll rate(yes that means this mouse is terrible for gaming) 6: This mouse can click 7: This mouse can change between pages quickly 8: This mouse is horrendous for anything other then going on to google (yes even if we have safari we know you got google instead because google has much better search results) 9: Its expensive for no reason and in reality it is one of the worst mice out there 10: Status symbol no one likes looking like those poor people who don't pay for something that is really bad So pleased continue to give us your money even if we give you something that really sucks in return :)
It would be nice if the mouse came with all the gestures the macbooks do but out of the box without having to adjust any settings. I still am a magic mouse enjoyer though.
You do not tackle what is for me the most important subject: magic mouse allows to have a mouse and the macos gestures in 1 device, what alternatives exist?
1. 2 minutes of charging = 9 hours. Yeah it should charge in the rear, but trivial complaint. Cramping isn't an issue for me: hand hovers over it a lot to use touchpad. Then they probably have a patent covering touchpad component, so there have been improvements with other mice, but it's like making a better CD burner when someone else makes USB drives. The Magic mouse is unique in what it does.
The video title is just a bad choice. I've been using a magic mouse for years, no problem with ergonomics whatsoever, but you should use it with a pad, not with bare hands as you do in the video! The "ergonomic" mouse that you are showing would force me to raise my wrist each time as I am moving from the keyboard, which would not be very ergonomic. Also having to use a scroll wheel (and another finger than the one I use for tapping) is a no go. Having the touchpad included in the mouse is a must for me. Horizontal scrolling on a separate wheel? No thank you. And why not use a trackpad and magic mouse together, to benefit from both? And regarding the position of the charging port, everyone complaining about that should read the article "The Apple Magic Mouse design is intentional and brilliant". I understand Apple has disappointed their customers many times in the past, but come on they are not that stupid. Some basic research should be done before posting such video reviews online.
bad option putting the charge port in the belly side compared to the proper common sense of the correct way so when the battery loses its charge it can still be used compared to the non common sense belly charge way. was this intentional ?
The charging port is at the bottom probably because it will burn up during usage and charging so they made it unusable during charging. You have to flip it to charge it so logically it cannot function and be charged. They have some flaw which they won't admit.
Thanks for the video, I’d love to complete the ecosystem with this Magic Mouse but if it’s not ergonomic enough it is a useless waste of lots of money, I had found a nice alternative to it in the Satechi mouse which is made of aluminium and can be found in the same colors as the MacBooks, that really looks great and always worked wonderfully (until it stopped working after a year :/)
I would think that one of the things that makes the apple mouse a plus would be that to connect it, you dont have to use up a port to connect. At least from what I see online. I dont own one but from what I have seen, it doesn't use a port to connect.
I purchased an iMac 2021 last year which I really love, but it came with the Magic Mouse which I don't love so much. It's just so clunky and awkward. Using the Magic Mouse feels like I'm wearing an oven mitt compared to the Logitech G903 that I use on my other PC. Apple could and really should redesign this mouse.
I currently have to get used to mac OS for my job and I hate this mouse. My problem is when I usey own mouse, I literally don't know how to navigate through the finder when I'm digging into folders and files, because I can scroll sideways without this mouse's touchpad, so I'm back stuck using it. Am I missing something??
I purchased very expensive mice but I couldn't get the same experience with the trackpad features and gestures found in the magic mouse and Mac ecosystem. I believe Apple could do better though with the angle your hand rests on the mice.
I do have a Magic Mouse 2, which I used with my iPad Pro. However, I couldn't see the battery level at a glance on the Batteries widget I found irksome, so I moved it to my work laptop bag. My compact iPad travel tech bag now includes an MS Arc Mouse. The charge level is shown on the Batteries widget, so I don't have to go into Settings.
I’m new to this channel. I like your content! I don’t know why people hate the magic mouse. It’s really not that bad. Yeah I completely agree the charging port shouldn’t be on the bottom at all but I think it’s comfortable. I think it connects a lot better than the other mouses do to Mac 🖥
Although I never understood the huge hate towards the charging port being on the bottom from people in general. My Magic Mouse, which is now 3ish years old, still last roughly 1-2 months on one charge. And I use it 5-6 days a week for about 7-10 hours per day. If you can't remember to charge it for one night during that time, then thats really on the person. I mean people charge their phones everyday, they can remember to charge the mouse once every 1-2 months (3 months when it was newer).
i have a apple Magic Mouse en I put it in the charger en 2 min en then use its for 9 hours so nice to have only 2 min charg en then 9 hours use its soo nice `
I disagree, it’s perfect for most people’s needs. It looks great, great for scrolling, rarely needs to be charged works perfect for MacOS. Charging it from the bottom is a none issue too since I charge it overnight. Apple clearly has data and if it was not selling well it would’ve been gone. Look at the HomePod, iPhone Mini etc. Now people who need extra functionality don’t like it and that’s understandable but most people are fine with it. Having said that I’d love for it to be updated.
i agree with the charging port but i love the white way more than gray. just got the white. as I just got my first macbook / laptop ever that isnt my work lap top from provided by work for home
One correction: this is called electronics consumer products market. It's not called tech or high tech etc... Tech is about high level advanced scientific research in great international universities and gov labs. Those deserve to be called "Tech".
magic mouse is buff for girls. So many boys complaining but perf size for girls with smaller hands + is so pretty. Comfiest mouse for me all the “ergonomic” ones are too big for small hands anddddd good for left handers. Charger on the bottom is stupid but you have to charge like twice a week so not really inconvenient so yah buy if u want a pretty mouse (especially if u have small hands)
Love your videos! Really straightforward, succinct but thorough explanations and opinions! Plus excellent quality. Just subscribed, look forward to seeing your well-deserved growth! 😊🙌🏽
My girlfriend and I love the magic mouse, she owns one and I own two. (one on my desk and one in my bag) It is simply the best most reliable mouse you can get for macOS. I have tried the MX Master, tough nice, I always come back to the magic mouse because logitech and other mouse manufactures software for their mouse are absolute garbage.
I had purchased mx master 3. But had to return it because the side scroll was soooo laggy! I dont care about the customizable buttons that much. I purchased magic mouse 2 after that and the scrolling is buttery smooth.💯
I just wish that Apple would make a bulkier mouse. The back charger literally doesn't matter since the mouse battery lasts for so long; you can fully charge the thing in an hour. The sensitivity is a bit low on this mouse than I'm used to. It's not a bad device by any means, but Apple can improve this device.
One problem that keep me from buying a Apple Magic Mouse is the un egornomic design. Its painful for someone who is claw grip mouse person to use this kinda mouse.
Im not a fan of the magic mouse I had back with my old imac years ago, it was very slim and didnt fit my hand nicely, I like having a large chunky mouse that fits my hand nicely. Currently the one I use is a microsoft bluetooth ergonomic mouse, its chonky, fits comfortably in my hand, has a little thum rest thing on the side, plus it has back and forward buttons on it.
I bought the damn trackpad cuz I needed to scrub for video editing....I didn't even know the Magic Mouse had that trackpad feature. I could have bought the Magic Mouse (which is cheaper) instead!! Faaacccccc......Facccccc.....
The 20000 Mac Pro best works with Microsoft standard BLACK mouse :) but we don't need a 20000 Mac Pro anymore, ProRes works very well on Windows with RTX 3090 (or less), an M.2 HDD and a medium processor. The Iphone is what is needed for now, but i don't know for how long. And that mouse was sh.t form the start. No ergonomics, heavy, no middle scroll as a BUTTON or a WHEEL (what is NEEDED by the finger), no middle click, HUGE LAG, can't be used for video editing for what the 20000 MacPro was designed for. It is a BIG "NO" for the MacPro and the mouse. The Iphone is ok for now. Apple, wake up!
I have a Magic Mouse but my hand is too big for it :/ i want to use it so bad but it’s just not comfortable. However I love my Magic Trackpad, it’s perfect.
Why all these cons videos pops up in my youtube feed right after I made the payment for my mice. 😞

@@adamblyth9972 a mouse with battery that can last an entire month after like 9hours charging that can be done at anytime you’re not working... c’mon...
It’s not like you’ll have to pause your work every time to charge it, just charge whenever you’re resting or sleeping or going out...
If you’re charging while using the mouse, you’ll be abusing it.
I have a MX3 and hate it. Feels like a mouse from the 90s. Enjoy Magic Mouse way more. Only downside is long term use. Everything else is positive.
Are you insane? You must not have a human hand lol
One huge issue I have with the new magic mouse is that I can not
turn off the swiping feature. Try using a magic mouse while
using the street view in Google Maps. A bloody nightmare.
The magic mouse will just change the magnification of the
street view with the slightest movement of one's hand on the mouse.
Click on an arrow in the google map's street view and of course the
magic mouse will decide to enlarge or shrink the view. This swiping
feature also does things in other programs, many times screwing up
something you are working on. This is especially true when using
CAD programs. Why in the name of all that is Holy did Apple not
allow a user to turn off the swiping feature in the mouse
settings. Anyway, the only fix I found was to use an older USB
wired mouse with a scroll wheel as opposed to the irritating
Apple mouse that has no way of turned off the swiping feature
if I am using a CAD program or want to use the street view in Google Maps.
you can manage settings on your mac! i hope this helps. google it. you can turn swiping off
I have a Magic Trackpad these days (I ordered it with the new iMac last year) but I still keep my Magic Mouse 2 around. I like having the option and love the multi touch gestures. Any normal mouse drives me insane 😅
That’s interesting!
Hello, Jules. I thought that the magic mouse utilizes touch gestures just like the trackpad does?
@@unknownperson5089 but when the overall experience of using a macbook quality trackpad is 10x better than the magic mouse...
Same for me. I have a regular "PC" mouse but keep switching back to the Apple mouse. Not deliberately but when using the regular mouse, I can't help but notice how often/convenient some of the gestures are on the magic mouse
I have a green magic mouse that came with my green M1 iMac (it replaced my 2007 iMac and a noisy "touch" Microsoft mouse) and it did take a while to learn how to hold the thing. I hold it with my thumb on one side and with my pinky and ring finger on the other. I admit that it did hurt my hand at first but my hand no longer hurts after a couple months of using it. I like the weight that it has and the two long feet on the bottom make it easy to move on different surfaces. The lazer is very accurate as well (just don't hold the mouse backwards, the pointer will go the opposite way).
I really like that white pattern wall you have, what is it?
Would you be able to post a link to where you found the panels or whatever it is? Looks nice
Alright, my take on this topic:
First, quick backstory: I bought an M1 iMac a couple of months ago, and I *REALLY* didn't have any more budget to upgrade to a Magic Trackpad - During the initial setup, it asks you to connect the Magic Mouse, so I did and started using it. At first I thought at the end of the setup I wouldn't like the Magic Mouse and use my old mouse instead. I was SO wrong, I don't think I'm going to use my old mouse ever again (unless the charge runs out and I really need that mouse)
I really like the quality, it's Apple quality so it's * mwah * (that was supposed to be a chef's kiss btw ;-;).
It only took me a few days to get used to this form factor. I was kinda confused on how to hold it, but a quick TH-cam tutorial taught me how :) (pro tip, INCREASE THE TRACKING SPEED IN SYSTEM SETTINGS. TRUST ME. Also enable right click too, I have NO idea why it's disabled by default.)
The ergonomics aren't too bad for me, I can use the mouse for hours and not get cramps. Though if you have big hands or something, using this might feel uncomfortable.
I know it's a paid program, but nobody mentions BetterTouchTool so might as well. It's basically a program to let you make/customize a lot of shortcuts with the Magic Mouse. It's not specific to the Magic Mouse though, it also has some other device options like: Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, MacBook keyboard, MacBook trackpad, Normal Mouse etc. It's really powerful so you should at least download the *trial* to see if you like it.
The mouse does work on Windows as well, just the pairing might be slightly harder.
And lastly, no. The charging port really didn't bother me. As the guy said, it only takes 2 minutes for 9 hours of charge, and a full charge should last you around 2 months. So just grab some coffee, sit back, relax, and wait for your mouse to charge.
Bro you are praising a mouse so poorly designed you needed to watch a youtube tutorial to be able to use it.
@@adamblyth9972 i didnt need it tbh i just came across it and found it useful
Amazing video! The quality and editing have improved so much! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Thanks for the honest and straightforward review. As a windows-recent-mac-convert, I've been using my windows hardware on my new mac mini and really wanted to take the full plunge and buy Apple stuff to accompany it. I was unsure if I should fork out the $$ for this mouse.
Anyways, I thought you were personable and your video was good enough for me to watch it to completion. Subscribed! :)
The reason people love them is for the multitouch gestures. It's a touchpad on top of a mouse, and that let's you do a lot of things that other mice don't. Once you get used to using it, you probably won't want to go back. If people didn't like them, you see them used cheap from apple users who switched back. You don't.
I depend on this shit because I use the zoom and Pro Tools at the same time, there a lot you can do with the built in trackpad, unfortunately there’s no other product like it on the market
I understand your point of view. But I bought my first Mac, a Mac mini 2020, and also a Magic Mouse. I chose a third party Mac keyboard btw.
And even despite my complete lack of knowledge about Macs, after using Windows all my life, I got used to this mouse in a couple of days and fell in love with it very much! I am very comfortable using it. Also still like its clean design.
I recently switched to a Mac mini and I'm looking for a new mouse. The charging cable placement is something I'm willing to put up with. Could you elaborate about how the touch gestures, and middle click/scroll, feel? That's the selling point of it to me. My most used program is probably Blender. It has a lot of right-click-drag and middle mouse button scrolling/click-dragging. I was hoping the touch surface would be more pleasant for that.
@@Tatrabbit I used it for almost a year. The gestures are easy to learn, amazing and fluid, pretty much what you expect from an apple product. I particularly enjoy using it for switching between desktops and swiping between web pages. This is the best mouse anyone can get for general computer usage. But I wouldn't recommend this mouse if you're using it for extended periods of time (e.g. gaming) or for precision.
Mouse is like holding Track Pad in your hand. And that is the design to go, if you do have better suggestions would love to hear
you can use better touch tool to customize the gestures. the gestures are a unique feature of the mouse
They sell the black one by itself now. I’ve got all 3 generations of the Mx master and have a 3S at home and the office and recently put my office MX aside for the Magic Mouse. Here’s my thoughts.
I couldn’t care less about the charging port. If it gets low, I still have enough to last through the day and plug in when I leave.
Better touch tool unlocks a MOUNTAIN of potential with gestures and tweaks to touch areas, sensitivity, etc. it can now, function-wise, do everything my MX master could do and more.
I’ve trashed a couple MX’s because the rubber sides eventually get tacky and gross. There is no way to stop it from happening or fix it (that I know of) and this material doesn’t exist on the MM. same for the lack of scroll wheel to get dirty and that’s a pain to clean.
It took me a while to get used to holding the MM but I’ve always been claw grip so the adjustment wasn’t too bad.
Lastly, and the biggest thing, is connectivity. I’ve tried 3 MX 3S’s and all 3 had laggy and stutters with Bluetooth on both my M1 Mac mini and my M1 Max MBP. Using the bolt connector fixes that but only if using a usb c port on the bacbook itself…a thunderbolt dock port still has lag and stutter with the bolt adapter. The MM gives me a port back on my Macs and has been 100% silky smooth.
Been using mine for 13 years now, the original one which still used batteries. It's great and I wouldn't change it for anything. What I love most: Thanks to no scroll wheel it never collects dust or dirt. Previously I used Microsoft mice and always had to change them because the scroll wheel would just get gross over time.
Thanks man you r too underrated , I hope that your vids explode :)
Thank you! Me too!
I like the functionalities of the Magic Mouse, but it is so incredibly slow. I have the Magic Mouse 1 since 2012, and I tried changing the speed using Terminal. The value you get by default is 3 - I put it to 1000, 10000, and 1000000, and it is still too slow. I don't understand why they won't fix that issue.
Well of course it’ll be slow. Ur talking about technology from 2012
@@ESMorg 2012 technology has nothing to do with the mouse speed. The speed and acceleration of this mouse is designed that way. There are a number of third party app to tune the mouse behaviour.
My fingers went vecnad twisted after playing games using magic mouse
What is the range, how far can you stay from the computer? I plugged it to a tv 📺 controlling it from two meters.
I know that you published this sometime back but they have the black version of this mouse in the apple store for $99 now in August.
Hello all, I have moved from an iMac 27 inch form 2013 to an iPad Air 5 with Apple Smart Keyboard and Apple Magic Mouse 2. I must say I was kinda unsure if I could make the jump, and I must say, I don’t miss the iMac. Yes, I work with my iPad, so I am a heavy user.
Im kind of mad I spent money on the magic mouse lol. It's so uncomfortable, especially if you have larger hands or long fingers, like me. I've switched over to the Logitech MX Master 3S (fantastic mouse by the way) recently and the only thing I miss about the magic mouse is the ability to double tap to activate mission control on Mac, and that's about it. Definitely not worth the money imo.
you can customize one of buttons on the master mx 3 to open the mission control, use Logi options + software
@@anasabbadi2299 I ended up doing that later and use the scroll wheel button to activate mission control lol. Now I just wish there was a way to change the natural scroll direction in the Logitech Options software for the horizontal scroll wheel. I've never really gotten used to scrolling that way with a mouse and trackpad. Still feels backwards to me.
I am a dev and use a Magic Mouse v1 for years and for work and my hand is all fine. I agree that the design and ergonomics are far from being optimal plus also considering that the v2 is not much of an improvement.
I decided to change and went for the Logitech MX Master 3S for Mac and I returned it cause the pointer and the main scroll lag terribly on Mac OS Ventura (many people seem to experience the same).
I am backing up to using the Magic Trackpad 2022 :)
I have a Razer mouse for my mac and the scrolling is terrible. I ended up downloading a 3rd party utility from github but it still doesn't scroll smooth like the Razer does on my windows laptop or like an Apple mouse or trackpad does on my Mac.
Was just going to purchase this and was wondering if ergonomics are as good as my surface mouse. Good video. Liked
looked at a number of subs and views. Damn, looks unfair. I've subscribed
Thank you!
Can you make a video of five or three mouses that you do recommend?
Wish Apple would bring back the old Mighty Mouse design. I know everyone hated the Mighty Mouse, especially gamers, but man I'm a master with this mouse. I especially love the squeeze button feature.
i feel this. over time the magic mouse glass top just gets loose and the bottom is loud if i want to take my desk pad off. i like having a track pad and a mouse handy on my desk. i have the MX Anywhere 3 and the space gray track pad. i usually like having both because sometimes my carpel tunnel flares with any mouse. -_- sucks. great video!
Try acupuncture for your wrist. Works good
I don't know about you, but I can choose between either white or the black version on their website.. Is that not what the space grey is?
I couldn't agree more and that leaves me with the question of alternatives? Any suggestions? And honestly I don't like the Logitech MX-Master-S-2... thanks for the cool video!
It's very awkward to use and not comfortable - i've changed back to my gaming mouse I use on my PC for easy of use. The lack of scroll wheel is awful the touch controls are really awkward. The battery really impressed me though.
the scrolling via touch is actually a nice feature! but it's simply awful for gaming.
@@damnfreakingsien I wasn't using it for gaming just for work. Still felt i had less control with the magic mouse so just use my gaming mouse for everything now.
@@StylishIrisman I agree the precision of the scroll and tracking is pretty subpar, but it excels as a general use mice that is fast and intuitive.
I’m considering the Magic Mouse - mainly as a travel mouse. I’d still use my trackpad + Logitech g608 at home…but on the go, the Magic Mouse looks like a really convenient solution.
They still sell space grey on its own on apple website but costs more even though it does the same as the white one.
Nice review, honest opinion. I will be subscribing. Keep up the good work.
Much appreciated!
MX Master FTW. I got a free Magic Mouse that's now 12 years old yesterday, and decided to switch out to the Magic Mouse to try it for a few days. I used to use it as my daily mouse for a couple years until I got a Razer Oroborous, and I enjoyed it. With the touch surface it does most of the same things the MX Master does (but not all, and not as well). I love the design (white or black, I don't really care), so I'm going to stick with it until I get tired of it. But the MX Master has been my daily mouse for about 2 years.
I'm a developer and have been on the windows platform forever, recently moving more over to the Apple side and find many Apple-esque things super annoying. Mostly, the right click of the trackpad doesn't actually bring up right-click functionality. Seriously? We have to hold down Option+Click? WTF!? I'm hoping getting a mouse for this Macbook Pro gives me some control over that. Anyone know? Anyone feel my pain?
Hello at apple we decided to get rid of everything useful, yes that right this mouse is about as useless as it gets. Here is the short list of everything we can do.
1: Its very light
2: Good batter life
3: Terrible long term use
4: We got rid of the right muse button because who like useful things
5: We got rid of the scroll whele because who no one enjoys being able to have a nice constant scroll rate(yes that means this mouse is terrible for gaming)
6: This mouse can click
7: This mouse can change between pages quickly
8: This mouse is horrendous for anything other then going on to google (yes even if we have safari we know you got google instead because google has much better search results)
9: Its expensive for no reason and in reality it is one of the worst mice out there
10: Status symbol no one likes looking like those poor people who don't pay for something that is really bad
So pleased continue to give us your money even if we give you something that really sucks in return :)
It would be nice if the mouse came with all the gestures the macbooks do but out of the box without having to adjust any settings. I still am a magic mouse enjoyer though.
You do not tackle what is for me the most important subject: magic mouse allows to have a mouse and the macos gestures in 1 device, what alternatives exist?
Notification gang 😎. Totally agree.
Thank you!
1. 2 minutes of charging = 9 hours. Yeah it should charge in the rear, but trivial complaint. Cramping isn't an issue for me: hand hovers over it a lot to use touchpad. Then they probably have a patent covering touchpad component, so there have been improvements with other mice, but it's like making a better CD burner when someone else makes USB drives. The Magic mouse is unique in what it does.
The video title is just a bad choice. I've been using a magic mouse for years, no problem with ergonomics whatsoever, but you should use it with a pad, not with bare hands as you do in the video! The "ergonomic" mouse that you are showing would force me to raise my wrist each time as I am moving from the keyboard, which would not be very ergonomic. Also having to use a scroll wheel (and another finger than the one I use for tapping) is a no go. Having the touchpad included in the mouse is a must for me. Horizontal scrolling on a separate wheel? No thank you. And why not use a trackpad and magic mouse together, to benefit from both? And regarding the position of the charging port, everyone complaining about that should read the article "The Apple Magic Mouse design is intentional and brilliant". I understand Apple has disappointed their customers many times in the past, but come on they are not that stupid. Some basic research should be done before posting such video reviews online.
bad option putting the charge port in the belly side compared to the proper common sense of the correct way so when the battery loses its charge it can still be used compared to the non common sense belly charge way. was this intentional ?
The charging port is at the bottom probably because it will burn up during usage and charging so they made it unusable during charging. You have to flip it to charge it so logically it cannot function and be charged. They have some flaw which they won't admit.
Thanks for the video, I’d love to complete the ecosystem with this Magic Mouse but if it’s not ergonomic enough it is a useless waste of lots of money, I had found a nice alternative to it in the Satechi mouse which is made of aluminium and can be found in the same colors as the MacBooks, that really looks great and always worked wonderfully (until it stopped working after a year :/)
I think that wouldn't happen with the original, my Logitech mouse doesn't work anymore with my MacBook ;(
milky... strange name
I would think that one of the things that makes the apple mouse a plus would be that to connect it, you dont have to use up a port to connect. At least from what I see online. I dont own one but from what I have seen, it doesn't use a port to connect.
One thing they should do is i clude wireless pad for charging and a wireless coil inside the ne Magic Mouse 3. Now, that would be magical!
What about your keyboard ?
I purchased an iMac 2021 last year which I really love, but it came with the Magic Mouse which I don't love so much. It's just so clunky and awkward. Using the Magic Mouse feels like I'm wearing an oven mitt compared to the Logitech G903 that I use on my other PC. Apple could and really should redesign this mouse.
Great vid!
I currently have to get used to mac OS for my job and I hate this mouse. My problem is when I usey own mouse, I literally don't know how to navigate through the finder when I'm digging into folders and files, because I can scroll sideways without this mouse's touchpad, so I'm back stuck using it. Am I missing something??
Y’all think it’s worth to pick up for 10 bucks on the used market?
Seriously? I am thinking of switching from Mac to Windows, and a deal-breaker for me will be if I can get Magic Mouse to work fully on Windows...
Great review, had it my cart and was about to buy! Bullet dodged! Thank you!
I purchased very expensive mice but I couldn't get the same experience with the trackpad features and gestures found in the magic mouse and Mac ecosystem. I believe Apple could do better though with the angle your hand rests on the mice.
Awesome work and very honest review.
I do have a Magic Mouse 2, which I used with my iPad Pro. However, I couldn't see the battery level at a glance on the Batteries widget I found irksome, so I moved it to my work laptop bag. My compact iPad travel tech bag now includes an MS Arc Mouse. The charge level is shown on the Batteries widget, so I don't have to go into Settings.
I’m new to this channel. I like your content! I don’t know why people hate the magic mouse. It’s really not that bad. Yeah I completely agree the charging port shouldn’t be on the bottom at all but I think it’s comfortable. I think it connects a lot better than the other mouses do to Mac 🖥
Although I never understood the huge hate towards the charging port being on the bottom from people in general. My Magic Mouse, which is now 3ish years old, still last roughly 1-2 months on one charge. And I use it 5-6 days a week for about 7-10 hours per day. If you can't remember to charge it for one night during that time, then thats really on the person. I mean people charge their phones everyday, they can remember to charge the mouse once every 1-2 months (3 months when it was newer).
Honestly the Magic Mouse is one of the best Apple products out there.
i have a apple Magic Mouse en I put it in the charger en 2 min en then use its for 9 hours so nice to have only 2 min charg en then 9 hours use its soo nice
`
I rather wait instead of clicking order. Thank you for your honest review...
You obviously never spent time to use gestures. Once you did, it’s so much more versatile then just the scroll weel.
I like my MM okay but I can't find a pad that works well with it. I've been using a certain magazine cover which works for a while but.....
its because any other mouse on Mac lags like the mx3
Thank you for this review. I was about to go buy one 😅 I’ll consider the MXMaster3 you mentioned.
I disagree, it’s perfect for most people’s needs. It looks great, great for scrolling, rarely needs to be charged works perfect for MacOS. Charging it from the bottom is a none issue too since I charge it overnight. Apple clearly has data and if it was not selling well it would’ve been gone. Look at the HomePod, iPhone Mini etc. Now people who need extra functionality don’t like it and that’s understandable but most people are fine with it. Having said that I’d love for it to be updated.
i agree with the charging port but i love the white way more than gray. just got the white. as I just got my first macbook / laptop ever that isnt my work lap top from provided by work for home
haha
thank you mate. I loved your review - afterwards I ordered the mouse still :-D but now I know what I have to expect.
cheers bud!
I’m having tracking issues with this mouse. I’ve only had it a year. Do you have any suggestions to fix this issue?
Buy a new one
One correction: this is called electronics consumer products market. It's not called tech or high tech etc... Tech is about high level advanced scientific research in great international universities and gov labs. Those deserve to be called "Tech".
Thank you for the video. Now I am buying it!
magic mouse is buff for girls. So many boys complaining but perf size for girls with smaller hands + is so pretty. Comfiest mouse for me all the “ergonomic” ones are too big for small hands anddddd good for left handers. Charger on the bottom is stupid but you have to charge like twice a week so not really inconvenient so yah buy if u want a pretty mouse (especially if u have small hands)
Ty with the honesty
Love your videos! Really straightforward, succinct but thorough explanations and opinions! Plus excellent quality. Just subscribed, look forward to seeing your well-deserved growth! 😊🙌🏽
Awesome, thank you!
My girlfriend and I love the magic mouse, she owns one and I own two. (one on my desk and one in my bag) It is simply the best most reliable mouse you can get for macOS. I have tried the MX Master, tough nice, I always come back to the magic mouse because logitech and other mouse manufactures software for their mouse are absolute garbage.
I had purchased mx master 3. But had to return it because the side scroll was soooo laggy! I dont care about the customizable buttons that much. I purchased magic mouse 2 after that and the scrolling is buttery smooth.💯
Why don't you just use the main scroll wheel on top?
@@nissan_skyline Side scroll wheel has a function. Mainly to scroll through the timeline on FCPX.
Great video and completely agree!
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video
I just wish that Apple would make a bulkier mouse. The back charger literally doesn't matter since the mouse battery lasts for so long; you can fully charge the thing in an hour. The sensitivity is a bit low on this mouse than I'm used to. It's not a bad device by any means, but Apple can improve this device.
But it’s noisy… I hate the noise it makes when clicking it
One problem that keep me from buying a Apple Magic Mouse is the un egornomic design. Its painful for someone who is claw grip mouse person to use this kinda mouse.
I use this mouse when I am on webcams because its the most quiet mouse for left and right clicks...however I switch to my g903 asap when I can.
Im not a fan of the magic mouse I had back with my old imac years ago, it was very slim and didnt fit my hand nicely, I like having a large chunky mouse that fits my hand nicely. Currently the one I use is a microsoft bluetooth ergonomic mouse, its chonky, fits comfortably in my hand, has a little thum rest thing on the side, plus it has back and forward buttons on it.
One reason to buy this thing is smooth scrolling, normal mouse can't compare with this, even with 3rd party software such as MOS.
I bought the damn trackpad cuz I needed to scrub for video editing....I didn't even know the Magic Mouse had that trackpad feature. I could have bought the Magic Mouse (which is cheaper) instead!! Faaacccccc......Facccccc.....
Thanks for your honesty.
I think they brought the black magic mouse back
I bought it in 2022. The beat mouse i ever had. I use it mainly for 3d modeling blender.
i still use this mouse and am i weird saying that i prefer lightning over usbc
To me in 2022 why are we still using mice at all, sliding a mouse around on a mouse pad seems so caveman to me, been using trackballs since the start.
The 20000 Mac Pro best works with Microsoft standard BLACK mouse :) but we don't need a 20000 Mac Pro anymore, ProRes works very well on Windows with RTX 3090 (or less), an M.2 HDD and a medium processor. The Iphone is what is needed for now, but i don't know for how long. And that mouse was sh.t form the start. No ergonomics, heavy, no middle scroll as a BUTTON or a WHEEL (what is NEEDED by the finger), no middle click, HUGE LAG, can't be used for video editing for what the 20000 MacPro was designed for. It is a BIG "NO" for the MacPro and the mouse. The Iphone is ok for now. Apple, wake up!
I have a Magic Mouse but my hand is too big for it :/ i want to use it so bad but it’s just not comfortable. However I love my Magic Trackpad, it’s perfect.
