  • A tutorial on how to hold and correctly use the Magic Mouse 2. How the heck do people use this thing without scrolling everywhere and driving themselves insane?
    In this video, I describe how it differs from every other mouse and the best way to hold the mouse for comfort, accuracy and control. It takes a few days or weeks to get used to but once you do, it becomes second nature.

    The "don't rest your wrist in the mouse, rest it on the desk" is the best advice on how to use it.

    Props for this video. I've heard a few people complaining about the ergonomics of it, and generally they don't understand that it is a different input device that is held differently.

    This was REALLY helpful. I was about to give up on it. Thanks.

    Finally, someone explaining how to hold and use it. Thanks. I started using one today, and it was driving me insane! Even more so, coming from an MX Master 3...

      It's great from the subtle movements. It's a slower and quicker input device.. seems to make no sense but you'll probably get what I mean.

    If it’s uncomfortable they’re likely not using it right. I always found it shockingly comfortable and I have large hands/long arms. The hate on the charging port is sad too (charge it once a month or plug it in, take a 2 min break and it’s ready for 9 more hours before you fully charge). As you said, key is resting your palm on the desk and essentially use your finger tips to use the mouse. It feels like resting your hand on a table the same way you would if the mouse wasn’t there. I never get any discomfort, the weight and feel is so airy and easy to maneuver. When I use an ergonomic mouse it feels like it’s smothering my whole hand, it’s heavier and not uncomfortable but awkward by comparison.

    I was really sceptic about the MM2 coming from a MX Master 3, it really amazed me how well it works if you know how to hold it. (Yes, it’s the old conundrum “you’re holding it wrong 😉)

    It seems not, but it is one of the mice with the best ergonomic considerations. And for me, an important aspect is that it does not make a bulge in the backpack, it fits in any pocket. I placed a piece of contact paper on top of it and the scrolling is much smoother to the touch.

    Better touch tools is something that really maximizes the magic mouse. :D

  • @squirebullet1
    @squirebullet1 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Good tutorial overall but inaccurate, it DOES hurt your fingers by keeping them up like that. I have been using the magic mouse for over 2 years now and i am experiencing hand pains on a regular basis and it is because of my fingers being constantly up like that... Be careful people

    • @kv1kv

      exactly
      this design is horrible

    • @slob5041
      @slob5041 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      yeah realistically you should get another mouse, it's more of a touchpad combo. I think it's why the feet aren't as versatile as maybe they should be.

  • @RH-nk7eo
    @RH-nk7eo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I really think Apple needs better instructions for this. As you say, it shouldn't be seen as a normal mouse but the problem is 99% of people have only ever used a regular mouse. So it's just not intuitive to switch over to this.

  • @aceofburninghearts
    @aceofburninghearts 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    im 100% sure thats exactly what apple designers intended designing this thing. its supposed to be easy and feathery, I agree with you and cant understand why people need to desperately clutch to stuff to feel in control (yes - psychological philosphy intended)

    If only it could tap to click, I am used to the settings for tap with one figner on touch-pad.

    The left click button is so hard, and hurt the figure after a full day work XD

  • @slob5041
    @slob5041 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Steve Jobs believed that touch screens wanted to be held horizontally and not vertically, it makes sense through that perspective.

  • @michealjoseph9943
    @michealjoseph9943 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I use the right click feature on my stock apple mouse all the time. I've tried right clicking with this mouse, and it simply does nothing. Evidently this mouse is not made for more complex operations like opening a choice menu for step operations. This tutorial says nothing about more complex mouse operations.

    • @jaydeemedina3879
      @jaydeemedina3879 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      check your settings. the right click was turned off by default when i first started using mine. you just have to turn it on

      You know what's funny is that for 3d modeling on blender it's actually a great replacement for a 3d mouse because they have Magic Mouse tracking out of the box.@@Reviews4fun1

    5 minutes explaining how to hold your mouse but nothing about using it!

  • @bekabuchashvili
    @bekabuchashvili 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    it's rubbish, kills your hands. my friend had to see a doctor after several weeks of using it and now she's going through some treatments. a mouse isn't suppose to give such discomfort. plus - a waste of money for sure. don't buy

    • @tdcattech
      @tdcattech  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's exactly where I thought I'd end up but fortunately that didn't happen. I never thought I'd like the Magic Mouse as much as my little Microsoft mouse but I do. It does take some time.

    • @dwightschrutee
      @dwightschrutee ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@tdcattech Magic mouse has actually a more natural hand position than other mice. It's like you're resting your hand on the table while other mice force you to put your hand in some weird position that is not natural and that can harm your carpal tunnel.

    It's a brilliant mouse, both my MacBook PRO machines have them. Beats a normal mouse hands down.

    • @tdcattech
      @tdcattech  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The jury is out on that one from my side. I am still getting used to it after years of using a ‘regular’ mouse and I can still work faster on a PC. However, there are already aspects I miss when moving back to PC from Mac.

    The cursor is slow, that's the whole purpose of a mouse. If its not broken, don't fix it. To me, this is apple trying to be different for the sake of being different and failing MISERABLY. It is absolute rubbish 🗑

    Wrists should never be on a surface while typing or mousing. Will cause major strain.
