The one good thing about the Magic Mouse is when you’re scrolling on web pages or apps, it’s much smoother than any of the other mice I have tried.
Yeah that’s one of the best parts, I love it for scrolling on a timeline while editing videos
Great video! Informative and well edited.
I also have a love hate relationship with this mouse lol
Haha I feel like that’s the perfect way to describe everyone’s relationship with it! Thanks for checking out the video bud.
Good explanation. TY
For sure, thanks for watching!
It's ergonomically terrible, but the gestures, scrolling, Bluetooth connectivity, and battery life are what makes this a great mouse for me. I think people hate on it a bit too much. That said, it does feel like I'm holding a shard of glass that's cutting into my skin lol
Yeah I think the hatred is over done a bit but I’m sure a lot of people on TH-cam do that to get views.
Honestly the thing that Apple does better than anyone else is intuitiveness. I just instinctively started swiping/using gestures on it while working on my iPad. Having both trackpad and mouse functionality makes it a great mouse. That being said, its biggest downfall is ergonomics. Slimness and portability is great for on the go work is great but it’s definitely not something for your everyday/whole day desk setup.
For me the ergonomics are good. The glass has never felt like it's cutting or poking me and I claw grip my mouse (which is probably how it was intended to be used) and so it works fine for me.
I got the Logi MX Mouse 3 and bought the Magic Mouse 2 2nd hand, thinking I would not use it.. . Well, my Mx is collecting dust for years now, I absolutely love the Magic Mouse and this Vid pretty much sums it up within the 1min why I do.
Nice dude! Glad to hear you’re liking the mouse. Thanks for checking out the channel
I really like the Apple mouse for the smoothness of going up and down and side to side but I work on 2 monitors and it is challenging moving the mouse from one monitor to the other or dragging a screen to the other monitor. It this a setting thing or an Apple thing?
That’s weird, I’ve never had a problem clicking and dragging with the mouse. Have you looked at the settings to see if something is wonky?
My man! Awesome video
Thanks!
Windows guy here, but I just bought my first Apple machine, a 14" MacBook Pro, wanted to see what development is like on it. I have a Logitech MX Master keyboard/mouse combo (MX Master 3S mouse) for my PC, so it sounds like I can easily move from machine to machine with the press of a button. But for replicating the Mac gestures on the trackpad, is the Magic Mouse the best (or only) mouse for that?
Yeah I believe it is. It’s worth at least picking it up and trying it out. With Apple you can always return stuff with no restocking fee. Thanks for checking out the video!
I initially purchased a Magic Mouse, believing it to be the ideal accessory for my MacBook Pro. However, I found it challenging to maneuver on my desk, as it moved sluggishly and resembled a tortoise. Moreover, I noticed that its trackpad function didn't work smoothly when my hands were slightly wet. Since I also own an iPad, I eventually opted for a Logitech small keyboard and a Logitech mouse capable of connecting to two devices. The Logitech mouse operates smoothly, and it has been serving me well for the past six years. As for the Magic Mouse, I swiftly sold it in the second-hand market after experiencing months of regret.i do check apple site for its updated version and so far could not find one to try.
Hopefully they can fix some of that with a new version, I haven’t had the same experience but I’m glad you found something that works for you!
I can get by the bad ergonomics since it is really compact, but the one thing I really dislike is also what's so good about it: the gestures (or as you described it, a trackpad and a mouse hybrid). The fact I gotta lift my fingers in order to right/left click is such a nuisance, I always end up going back to my Logitech.
That's interesting, I've never even noticed having to do that. But glad you dig the Logitech mouse; they make some incredible mice!
good job dude
Thanks!
I love my magic mouse.. losing the connection is my biggest complaint. Have they fixed that in the newer versions?
Which edition is your mouse? I haven’t had that problem at all so I’m assuming if yours is older then they have
@@JonAdamsTech I am sooooo happy to hear that is not an issue on the new magic mouse. You are 100% correct that I am stuck with an older version. Thank you for the awesome video!
For sure, thanks for watching!
Subscribing to a channel which I don't do to other channels after watching vedio.
I liked your efforts and attention to detail.
I hope the best for you.
May you achieve your endeavours and success in your life.
Nice, I appreciate the support!
I have a brand new one and it will not charge. Any advice short of taking it back?
Nah just take it back, never heard of that happening so it must just be a dud
One huge con for me - I have false right clicks with it all the time. Is there a workaround for that? Or just my hands are not suitable for properly grabbing this mouse?
That’s weird, I haven’t heard of that. You can disable right clicks I believe then just press option when you want a right click. I could be wrong about that but I vaguely remember that as a possibility.
I like the Magic Mouse 🐭 it works great 👍🏾 for me.
That’s great! Have you tried other mice or just stuck with the Magic Mouse?
Also i got a question, on TH-cam shorts can I use a song in it without getting hit with copyright?
Is your channel monetized? If it's not monetized then it doesn't matter because the copyright is only there so the person who made the song would get the money from the short.
@@JonAdamsTech so I can use music in my shorts without having to pay?
I have the original Magic Mouse and the only thing I didn’t like and it’s annoying that it won’t work on glass tables tops
Yeah for sure, why don’t you upgrade to the new one? I’m sure you can still sell the old one on marketplace or something.
Try Logitech MX Anywhere 3S, you can use it on any surface you want, even on a glass table.
The only thing that annoy is scrolling function on non-native macos mouse is there, there is no other mouse than Apple Magic Mouse can bring the smooth scroll experience like you use the trackpad
Thanks for the helpful review. Something tells me that Apple is not taking ergonomics seriously because they’re actually deprecating the mouse. It’s probably not a big profit center, so they’re promoting mouse-less mac operation (which explains why their trackpad is so big). I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple discontinues their mouse in the next 3 yrs.
Maybe! I do think they focused so much more on their trackpads in recent history. The Magic Trackpad is awesome
I love this mouse ❤
Glad I’m not the only one!
I wouldn't call it terrible, but I'd also never get one. I've got the Logitech M720/Triathlon on my desk. Basically the little brother/budget version of the MX Master. It's been a great mouse for me.
That’s awesome, I’ll have to check that out! I’ve used the MX Anywhere 2 and it is a pretty sweet on the go mouse. Thanks for watching Chris!
Cons don’t a affect me at all I’m just worried to buy it and they release a new one this year with usb c
That’s fair, I don’t think they will this year but if they do the resell value will still be pretty decent for the current one
@@JonAdamsTech true thank you for your input that’s the good thing about Apple products
keyboard input more important.
You do not need Nvme for video editing.
Keyboard input important. So is mouse input. I like nvme for editing because I transfer enormous files.
I like mouses that don't make sounds when I click. does this mouse make loud click sounds?
It does make some sound but it’s not bad. If you’re looking for an almost silent mouse then the Logitech mx3-s mouse is perfect for you!
is there a non apple mouse that doesn't suffer with lag when scrolling. So smooth with the Magic Mouse but other ive tried it stutters
I’ve used all three generations of the Mx master mouse and they work pretty great. Not as smooth as the Magic Mouse for scrolling though. What mice have you tried?
There are apps you can get that fix this
The alternatives have one huge flaw, unacceptable for a lot of design-sensitive mac users - they are ugly as hell, lousy in design despite the fact that they are probably ergonomic, but they look as if they were randomly designed, not thought through with unnecessary quirks. Also they give off a feeling of being built with poor quality materials/plastics. The only thing Apple could do with the next gen Magic Mouse - they could make it a bit bigger, or actually maybe offer size options, two or three variants. That's all. I don't care about the charging port, I don't see an issue here - I prefer it is hidden in the bottom. It's not like the battery dies suddenly.
EXACTLY!!! design matters especially for something that’s going to be out living on your desk all the time. Thanks for your comment!
Agree . Got mine for my iPad for ocasional use and I don’t have many complaints for my use case .
I just got mine today. Is there a way to make the click as tap?
I haven’t seen anything like that
Bro, was gonna ask the same thing. if you find anything, post here so people know it.
I like some things about it but it needs to be not so sharpy
Haha sharpy is a great way to describe it
I love the Magic Mouse 2
Glad you like it, I think it’s amazing!
Never had any issue with the magic mouse. Remember that you press control key on keyboard while clicking mouse to 'right click' on something.
You can also just set it up in settings that when you click on the right side of the mouse it registers as a right click
my favorite mouse of all time. just an extension of your Mac. quick and easy usage
100% agree! Thanks for watching!
First time Mac user (decades-long Windows user). Just purchased my first MacBook to use for video editing. Got the Magic Mouse because... well, it was the only mouse available at the Apple Store where I was at. This is a HORRIBLE mouse. Yes, it's got some cool features, but if you can't hold the mouse comfortably (those sharp edges almost hurt), if you can't easily control the zoom in and out speed in your video editing software, all the cool features in the world won't make up for that. And where's the middle mouse button? What's up with that? This mouse was clearly NOT designed with productivity in mind. Apple really dropped the ball with this one.
Yeah it’s definitely a polarizing mouse that’s for sure
Mouse compared with a keyboard is compatible with the keyboard, the Apple magic mouse I mean with that laptop compatible
Huuuuuuhhhhhh?
You can never "over hate" anything related to Apple. If anything there's not enough hate.
lol you definitely won’t like my channel then
As a gamer mouse ergonomics is very important to me. I would not be able to use the magic mouse at all i think. Or any other mice with similar shape.
Im currently using the Corsair Sabre RGB Pro Champion Series (wired). Its DPI is up to 18.000 and it has a polling rate of 8000hz.
But the best thing for me is it shape. I can use it all day long without my hand getting tired.
Same goes for other mice with similar shape like the Logitech G403 or all versions of the Razer DeathAdder.
I think apple users would like a mouse that is more ergonomic yes? 🙂
Oh yeah this mouse is definitely not for gamers. I use the g502 pretty much all day now on my pc and I love that thing! The best is having that higher polling rate, makes everything so much better! I have no clue who in the world would be using 18000 dpi though, that has to just be a marketing gimmick
@@JonAdamsTech Yeah no one use that high DPI i believe the G502 goes even higher like 24000 atleast the newest version of it. 😁I normally use my mouse from 800 - 1600 DPI.
What does it mean for a channel to be monnetized?
That you’ve met the requirements to start making money on TH-cam. 4,000 hours of watch time and 1,000 subscribers.
@@JonAdamsTech so that means I can use music in shorts
Yep!
@@JonAdamsTech yay!
the trackpad is amazing but it becomes really uncomfortable from using 1 finger all day.
Yeah for sure
I do like the battery life idk
👨🏻🍳🍣🍱
The fact that it does not come with battery and has to be charged every other day itself is a big con for me
It has to be charged like every other month max
I got a magic mouse for free from work. I hate it, I stick with my harpoon. The touch gestures are great, but the accuracy of the pointer is awful, especially when you are moving it slow trying to highlight or click on the tiny minimize button. I have played with the settings but cannot get it accurate while moving slow. Its awful in that regard.
That’s weird, I haven’t had any problem like that at all
@@JonAdamsTech I did some more searching online and found out a plain white sheet of paper works well, I’ve been trying it out but it’s still not as smooth as the Corsair harpoon. Maybe I just spoiled myself using gaming mice
Yeah the polling rate of gaming mice is a game changer. I use a g502 wireless on my pc and it’s amazing
3:00 that’s actually Apple crippling other products. I tried other non Apple peripherals (keyboard, mouse and headphones included), and they purposely make it difficult so you’re forced into using their product. I’m all in with the Magic Keyboard, trackpad and AirPods now but I hate KNOWING I was practically forced into that position because I refused to deal with the annoyances THEY introduce. Bluetooth works seamlessly on Windows or whatever else but they have to push their products. Surprised they haven’t been sued over that
You should sue them and let me know how it goes.
@@JonAdamsTech as if lawsuits are unheard of especially when companies act uncompetitively?
@@warrenjoseph76 I wasn’t saying they are, Apple gets sued like 50 times a day. I agree that Apple knowingly doing something like that is wrong. Just like when they purposely slow down iPhones to make people upgrade. They should definitely be sued for that.
This mouse is so bad that when my parents had it growing up I just gave up trying to use the family computer lol
Dang that’s intense’
What happened to your other channel, there’s no content
I took it down because I can't focus between two channels and if I have any videos up, the way I'm wired is that I can't get it out of my head that I need to build it. So my goal is to get this channel to 100k subs eventually and at that point then I can start the other channel back up and make it about the content creation niche. I came to the conclusion that no one cares what a person with 2k subs has to say about building a channel haha
I don’t understand why it’s so bad?
The Magic Mouse? People get hung up on the ergonomics and the charging port being on the bottom but I don’t think it’s a big deal
Still the worst Apple product. Even if it’s a decent mouse.
Would you rather go mouse or trackpad?
@@JonAdamsTech track pad I think.
@@JonAdamsTech mouse ,trackpads are awful, ima laptop user and ive disconnected the bugger cus its annoying
Dang, you hate them that much?! haha
Have you ever tried an Apple trackpad? It's on a whole different level.
"disconnected the bugger" makes me feel like you're a PC user. @@Val-_33
That's a magic rat,
Shhhhhh didn’t tell nobody
did you worked with that stuff more than 2 hours intensively? If yes, are you still ok? :)))) Stop spreading the word about that mouse, is just not OK. Pack in the backpack, is mobile.. A mouse is still a mouse until the human hand changes and that mouse is not for a human hand.Battery life good, MAC just nailed it on the battery, however.. :)))) OMG
I’ve used it for 8 hours a day editing videos and never had a problem with my hands hurting. It’s not for everyone for sure but I don’t have any problems with it.
All I used from Apple is the worst ever... I can not understand what people love about this
Wait you use the worst stuff?
@@JonAdamsTech Maybe... Tried the MacBook Air, iPhone 6, and Magic Mouse-felt like I was in a tech horror movie! At least I'm now immune to the hype.
Haha well glad you survived the trauma
