Apple Magic Mouse 2 – A honest review

Public Service Announcement

Back in December, I got a new M1 Mac mini, and needed a new Mouse.  So I got the Apple Magic Mouse 2.  After using it for several months, I can give a honest review of this piece of hardware.  You may agree or disagree with me.  Leave your comment below either way.

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

The Magic Mouse 2 is a predecessor to the first model, which I didn’t have so I cannot compare the two.

Here’s are the pros and cons of the hardware:

Pros:

• Easy to setup.  No battery to purchase.
• Feels okay in the hand.  Takes some getting used to if you’re coming from a generic mouse.
• Looks nice on the desk.
• Response time is great, especially in games.

Cons:

• Top of mouse is very touchy.  Harder to click on options on a form.  No option to change that in System Preferences > Mouse.
• Should charge it at least once a week, so you don’t end up with a DEAD Mouse during the day.
• Charging port is on the BOTTOM of the Mouse. Not able to be used when charging.

Bottom Line:

The Magic Mouse 2 is a good piece of hardware if you’re looking for a no-battery replacement – despite the cons that I just outlined.
