Apple Magic Mouse - Black Multi-Touch Surface ​​​​​​​

It’s the same as the black one but less expensive. My MacBook Pro is black and would have preferred black but I wasn’t going to pay 50% more for it. The mouse functionality is great. It’s the best of a mouse and a track pad. All you do to pair it is plug into the usb c connectors and it instantaneously paired. Pretty slick and simple!

I've used a replaceable battery version of the Apple bluetooth mouse for years. It is a great device, but after many years of use, it has been getting progressively harder to pop open the battery compartment. Plus I was using a lot of disposable lithium batteries. This rechargeable version just plugs into your computer to charge without any need to open a plate on the bottom of the mouse. The MacOS gives a readout of the mouse's charge status under the Bluetooth icon at the top of the screen. I haven't had mine for that long, but it seems to be retaining its charge well. One downside is that the charging port is on the bottom of the mouse, so you have to plan ahead to choose a time to charge the mouse when you are not using your computer. The other downside is that when you exhaust the charge cycles, the mouse will no longer be functional and will need to be discarded. Obviously it is too soon to know the number of charge cycles I will get out of the mouse. Otherwise, the ergonomics are just as good as the earlier disposable battery version and it appears as if it will not need to be charged very frequently.

I have gone through several "mice" over the decades and finally decided to get the Apple Magic Mouse to go with my MAC and external Apple keyboard. It didn't disappoint at all. It is sleek and does not have a wheel to scroll with. Instead you use your finger! It seems strange at first, but you will get used to it quickly. I charged it up when I got it and it holds a charge for weeks. To find out how much of the charge is remaining on the mouse I go to my settings menu and then click on bluetooth. There you will see the percentage left.

I have purchased a few of these and it's quality and battery life works great!

I originally had mixed feelings about the Magic Mouse, but the USB-C version changed my opinion. I bought mine used for around $80, but it looked basically new, and the glide was immediately better than the older Lightning version I tried. The older one had worn feet and scratches, which made it feel slower and more clunky. This newer USB-C model feels much smoother, faster, and more premium. I also added aftermarket feet over the original feet. In the gaming mouse community, these are usually called skates, and I am used to replacing them because they wear down with daily use. For me, this was worth doing because glide matters a lot. The added skates made the mouse feel even smoother and helped protect the original feet. The trade-off is that it slightly changes the stock feel, so not everyone needs to do it, but if you care about glide, the condition of the feet matters a lot. The biggest strength of the Magic Mouse is the macOS experience. The gestures, scrolling, horizontal scrolling, swiping between pages, switching desktops, and Mission Control all feel extremely natural. I currently use around 8 desktops on my Mac for school, web browsing, documents, AnyDesk, Parsec, and other software, and this mouse makes managing all of that much easier. Swiping between desktops and moving through pages feels effortless compared to a normal mouse. The glass surface also feels very premium, almost like using a MacBook trackpad in mouse form. Scrolling through documents, app notes, datasheets, Finder folders, and web pages feels much smoother than a traditional scroll wheel. Once I added BetterMouseTool for extra customization, the experience became even better. That said, this is not the mouse I would use for everything. When I am working in KiCad, I still switch back to my Logitech GPX 2 because a traditional lightweight mouse is better for precise work and quick adjustments. I have not tried it yet with Revit or AutoCAD, which I will be using during my internship, but I expect it will be similar. Because of that, I still plan to carry a regular mouse, likely my GPX 1, in my backpack as my actual work mouse. For lighter work, browsing, document reading, desktop management, and general Mac productivity, the Magic Mouse is excellent. For computer-aided design, gaming, or anything that needs fast and precise mouse control, I would still want a traditional mouse. But as a Mac productivity mouse, especially if you care about gestures and smooth scrolling, this is one of the best accessories I have used.

The Magic Mouse is a sleek, minimalist mouse that looks gorgeous on the desk and fits right into the Apple ecosystem. It pairs instantly with the MacBook Neo, and once it’s connected, it just works — no drivers, no fuss. The multi‑touch surface is the standout feature: you can swipe between desktops, scroll smoothly through long pages, and use simple gestures that feel very natural if you’re already used to a Mac trackpad. Ergonomically, it’s definitely more style than comfort. The low profile can feel a bit flat during long workdays, especially if you prefer a mouse with more of a curve or palm support. It’s perfect for light to moderate daily use, but heavy users or people prone to wrist strain might want something more contoured. Functionally, it shines for everyday productivity and creative work. The tracking is precise, scrolling is super smooth, and gestures are a nice bonus for multitasking across multiple monitors. The downside everyone talks about is the charging design—since the port is on the bottom, you can’t use it while it’s charging, which is pretty inconvenient if it dies in the middle of your day. The good news is that a quick charge lasts a long time, so topping it off periodically becomes a habit. If you love Apple’s clean aesthetic and enjoy gesture‑based navigation, the Magic Mouse is a great companion to your setup. If comfort and all‑day ergonomics are your top priority, it might be worth pairing the with a more traditional mouse instead.

I absolutely love the Apple Magic Mouse. The multi-touch surface is a game changer—scrolling and gestures feel natural and smooth. It connects instantly and works flawlessly with my Mac. The design is clean and modern, exactly what you’d expect from Apple.

Requires an OSX upgrade to work correctly; scrolling would not work on an older Mac running Sonoma, required an update of the OS to fix the driver. Found out this a common issue with these "new" Magic Mice. If you have older apps and are still running older hardware and OS (and there are completely legitimate reasons to do so), and they cannot be updated, steer clear of these.

So I live in both the Mac world and the Windows world. I recently decided to pick one of these up because I liked how it fit into my laptop bag. It works well for Mac but has a limited feature set for WIndows. Frankly, this didn't suprise me as I had expected it and thus didn't peanilize the product for not working better with Windows. Yes, I know there are utilities to squeeze more functionality out of the mouse for Windows but this is an out of box review. The setup with Mac is as seamless as you would expect for a Mac product and after a couple seconds you are off and running. The scrolling is extremely handy but it will take a little getting used to as there is an art to using this mouse but with a little effort you will see the brilliance of the design. You just have to work through any initial frustrations you might have. Overall, this is a great product and feel it was well worth the money but it is best used with Mac OS.

Served its real purpose, and handling was very easy.

Excellent quality.

Should have read the reviews, it really is the worst mouse ever. used it for a work day. Its just terrible. Ergonomics, difficult to use for long periods of time. Scroll is way worse than trackpad. Its like a weak version of the trackpad, no inertia, scroll doesnt always trigger, sensitivity is way down without third party apps.. Right click is odd, you need to fully lift pointer finger or it wont trigger. Just about any other mouse will do better. Or just use the trackpad, which is really solid.

The first model has plastic box, it become paper box. However, it functional well and no need to buy batteries anymore.
