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.

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.

My old Apple mouse was really glitchy and not responsive any more because it was so old but I did use it for many years. It may have been from when my kids were in high school so at least 8 years old. Anyway it was time to get a new one and this one is great. It works like a dream especially compared to the old one and was easy to set up and start using. There is a charging cord that you can just plug in to the computer and you're good to go. Not sure about how long the charge lasts but easy enough to plug in while you're working if you have to. The mouse works smoothly and have had zero issues with connectivity. The weight and feel of it are very pleasant and if the old mouse is any indication, this mouse will be just as sturdy and long lasting. As always, Apple products are designed beautifully and look and feel sleek.

This review is for the USB-C version of the Magic Mouse only. When I bought this mouse, there was no disclaimer that it will properly perform only on Sequoia 15.1.1 Apple said that it worked with OS's back prior to Ventura, so I felt safe. (To be fair, I do not know whether it works on the beta release of Sequoia 15.2). I was running Ventura 13.6, and when I connected the Magic Mouse, it only functioned as a regular mouse - no gesturing, no scrolling, etc. Button clicks kind of worked, but not always. I tried it on multiple macs, but the results were the same. I returned it, and purchased a replacement: same results. After doing some research, I found others that were having similar results, and finally saw that people had isolated it to only working as advertised on Sequoia 15.1.1. After upgrading my macOS to Sequoia 15.1.1, the USB-C Magic Mouse works as advertised. I hope that Apple does the right thing and a) publishes a note regarding the compatibility issue, and b) issues a patch to Ventura, Sonoma so they, too, will enable this terrific mouse to work as intended.

Love the motion controls for switching pages and zooming. Connects well with Apple and non-Apple devices, with great battery life. It isn't too loud, but it makes a nice click noise when you use it, with good haptics. Very small and thin, fits in my laptop case nicely. It's not great for ergonomics, so long use for the work day, you may want to get a mousepad with wrist support.

Awesome Great product Works perfectly and smoothly

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.

Was exactly as described. Works great.

Great, but doesn't scroll so you have to use the track pad on the Mac.

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.
