04:04 Thoughts about the Apple Magic Mouse 2 - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Are you thinking about buying a Magic Mouse?
I did, I regret it, it isn't seem less, it has already been replaced under warranty. It doesn't connect seemlessly. And when looking if others had issues with it, my god, and I don't believe in one, the posts on how rubbish this thing is is insane.
I won’t get that Magic Mouse. It’s so flat and not ergonomically designed. I am happy with my Logitech pop mouse.
buy just a regular "microsoft" mouse and does the job way better, it moves faster and more accurately. The black microsoft one I mean. :) However Glorious or Logitech does way better job on the task. You can't slide browsers moving the fingers from right to left but who cares? They move as they should move in the first place. Just imagine video editing 8 hours/day with the "Apple Magic Mouse". OMG. I realy hope you are not wasting your editing life using that MAC BS mouse.
Sorry, but Apple has never produced a mouse that's even close in ease of use to even a 20$ Logitech device. They are all useless, and always have been.
@@bomcabedalthen why Apple don't change anything? Just to be different? The law of physics is the same for everyone I think. The mouse is just an extension of your hand, they have to work like one.
I bought the Magic Mouse last week and I have no regrets. I also don't spend hours and hours on my Mac using my mouse so for the couple hours a day I do use it, it has been a flawless experience.
The "touch screen" functionality of the mouse is so intuitive that I found myself scrolling and didn't even realize right away that it doesn't have a scroll wheel.
I usually charge it when I go showering . I also added an hand hold on the mouse and it fixed the issue for supporting my hand, works like a normal mouse !
I love it but it needs to be able to pair to multiple devices. Sometimes I'm on my MBA, sometimes my iPad Pro. Can only be connected to one device at a time.. feels prehistoric
Perfectly explained
Thank you!
Got one as a gift from my daughter, never would have bought one by my own because of all the bad rumors….but I‘m absolutely happy with it. It can do thing no other mouse can!
I honestly like the Magic Mouse - mostly for it's gestures and functionality. That said, there are 3 major things that could use improvement:
1. Ergonomics. Unless your hand is flat and tiny, it's just not very good to hold for more than an hour or so.
2. The polling rate. I believe it's only 90Hz. With a 60Hz screen it's fine, but anything higher that that and it feels sluggish.
3. Use USB-C charging. With the iPhone 15 series, now all major Apple products use USB-C to charge.
I like this magic mouse, but it is extremely frustrating when I type a message and I just glance over the top of the magic mouse and the page I am on goes back to the previous one and me losing my entire message I just typed. It has some cool features, but dam this issues needs to be addressed from accidental guiding the top of the mouse and it registering it as me going back to a previous page!
The charging doesn't really bother me at all. It freaking lasts a long time and just as long as you check it every so often and remember to charge it back up, it shouldn't be an issue!
I have Magic Mouse and wireless keyboard since 2008. Best money I’ve spent.
@@MrSnazzy682 get a job
I've used the MM2 for about 4 months & find it a pain in the ass to use! I purchased it when I bought my Apple Studio alongside my M Keyboard. I lose soooooo much productivity using this mouse that I'm seriously thinking of ditching it. The problem isn't ergonomics, but jut the way my hand sits on the mouse. My left finger doesn't sit where the left finger should sit & if I had an ergo mouse would sit, but rather in the middle/right of the mouse. so when I (subconsciously) go to press to get a required action, I'm clicking 2 to 4 times to get what I want. It would help if Apple had a little indentation where the left/right finger should be on the mouse.
So Peter, if you have any handy hints to combat the positioning of the fingers, please share.
You should get a logitech mx master 2s or up. I have one. It has all these functions but with separate buttons. It can be configured in its app, It's comfortable, has Bluetooth, battery status lights and can be charged while in use
Does it work with Iphone ?
Hi Peter, For a 15 year old high school student do you recommend Microsoft Surface Pro 8 - 32gb - 1TB or Apple Macbook Air M3 - 8gb - 256gb?
Great question..and tough choice! I’ve owned a Surface Pro before and I loved it. A MacBook Air is a safe bet go with, but I don’t think you’d regret getting the Surface Pro, either. Honestly, they’re both great machines. I guess it comes down to which operating system you feel most comfortable working in.
I chose MacBook when I go to college cause I know I can’t play games on it, so I can actually focus and get work done 😂
Ordered mine this morning. It was the last thing on my desk that wasn't Apple.
The scroll works in Ubuntu, but the gestures would require two applications and lots of tweaking. I went back to my M570 trackball. It uses up a USB, but I seem to have enough.
Can someone explain this to me. The magic mouse will natively use mouse acceleration on MacOS (stupidest fucking thing) so if you go to disable it, I end up with another issue. The cursor will start skipping pixels! With acceleration on, the issue goes away but the pixel skipping is ridiculous with it off. Normally this is an issue with very low dpi mouse on a high resolution screen but I don't think that's the case in this situation. Any ideas? I can't find any others mentioning this online.
can i use this in desktop or only in macbook?
This works for any Mac, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, etc…
I got it like, idk, 6 months ago? And can’t sure why everyone just hated it? Yes it is not good for gaming maybe, but that is it for the negative side it seems?
This is new? I’ve had one for years. Seems the same
Charging port location is a design mess. Other than that it’s a great tool for me and my old MacBook Pro.
I appreciate your review, and nothing against it- very well presented, but just no! I had the original mouse and developed severe hand cramps after 1 hour of use. Also, the bluetooth was finicky (tho I think you said it’s improved). Finally, bluetooth is just not very accurate for precise graphic work. I’ll stick with my old fashioned usb mouse until perhaps the next upgrade.
Charging port . Come on ..
but the downside of this mouse is the clicking sound is kinda loud
The gestures are neat but I prat the design team got fired - the only mouse that sends actual pain when using it.
I like how Apple has done absolutely nothing to improve the design pr software over the older white one that was released back in 2015. Outside of the magic trackpad surface, literally any mouse within the same price range would be ergonomically better and more functional.
-Can't charge and use
-No adjustable DPI (adjusting sensitivity DOES NOT affect DPI, they are 2 separate things)
-No easy multi device switching
-No adjustable polling rate
-Not USB C chargeable
I have 4 of there and I hate it
Nothing magical about ot
what is Apple going to do put a screen on the mouse? lol.
What’s your design?
@@bhagmeister definitely change where you connect to charge the mouse. It's stupid because you can't use it while it's charging.
@@johnguillen68 So you feel that looking at the battery status is too much? That you are in a Do or Die situation whether you go to check your social media connections? That’s tough. Wow.
@@bhagmeister What are you talking about? I'm simply saying that the connection to charge the mouse is in a bad location. Don't make it sound like I need SM to survive. I could care less about SM. I work on PS and Ai for hours and then I get that low battery signal. So the location of charging the mouse is in a bad location.
@@johnguillen68 Life’s a bitch
worst mouse I've ever used. since I have first experience when I studied Swift in my class till the end of semester. the most thing I really hate is this magic mouse not XCode.
Who in their right mind would buy a so-called Magic Mouse. The Logitech Anywhere MX 3S beats it hands down. The Logitech can also connect to three computers whether it be Windows or Apple!
I’m an Apple fan (and user), but the bottom charger is the most stupid design EVER… stop trying to justify it for the look of it… functions over aesthetics, the mouse is useless if you can’t use it while you charge it.
yeah, but you only charge it every couple of months, so it isnt really a hassle. If you had to charge it everyday than i would agree but since it only bothers you every couple of months, plus you can just charge it when you see the battery is starting to get low and then youre not using it at that moment, I dont think its really a problem.
It oesn’t change the fact that the design is completely flawed, regardless if you charge it once a month or every day… you’re making excuses for a bad design, that’s bad consumerism…
@@Spidouz depends on what youre calling design. if minimalism is the goal, then the mouse achieved your goal, but if youre going for usefullness then the mouse fails that part. But even if youre going for usefullness, it isnt something thats very bothering, and something that can be easily fixed: when you see it is only 50% or less, put it on charger after you use it, it doesnt take that much. Im not making excuses because i love everything that apple does, Im just saying that I think people put too much attention to this one detail as if it mattered. If you want the magic mouse because of the gestures and compatibility, then you shouldnt change your mind just because every once in a while you have to leave it on a charger, which like i said before is very preventable.
Fr
It rests awkwardly when being charged. That alone makes it a flawed product
The magic mouse looks like a cheap plastic toy made by Fisher Price.
The mouse is to thin and very uncomfortable to use.
Apple needs to redesign the magic mouse.
I will not be buying the magic mouse and going with a Logitech MX Master S3.
Hands down the worst mouse EVER, I couldn’t give a flying fuck about the extra swiping features it has, the ergonomics of it explains itself but the CHARGING PORT??? Why on gods earth would you ever design a mouse that can’t be used for 15 minutes because it’s “charging” and the worst part is Apple won’t tell you when your mouse is going to die, so you could be doing work and boom just like that the 15 minute timer starts now. I don’t care what the excuses are and how you “won’t have to charge it for 3 months”Your literally Apple. You can access rocket science if you had to. I’m not that much into tech but I’m pretty sure a fucking mouse is a whole lot more simpler than rocket science. Apple used to give a fuck about their products and customers, but now it’s like they’re just toying with their customer’s loyalty.
Yeah ... Drink more of that Kool-aid !!
- It never really feel comfortable using it. Too low profile design, perhaps ? I spent my own $$ buying a Logictech Mouse rather than using this POS they had at work.
- Tactile is king !! I need buttons I can click, scrool wheel I can move. That's why gamers would choose physical contollers with actual buttons any times. I really think Humans prefer that natural force feedback feels than this gimmicky touch mouse.
