    I like this magic mouse, but it is extremely frustrating when I type a message and I just glance over the top of the magic mouse and the page I am on goes back to the previous one and me losing my entire message I just typed. It has some cool features, but dam this issues needs to be addressed from accidental guiding the top of the mouse and it registering it as me going back to a previous page! The charging doesn't really bother me at all. It freaking lasts a long time and just as long as you check it every so often and remember to charge it back up, it shouldn't be an issue!

    I've always wondered how the battery life is compared to windows machines. My 2022 Windows Laptop (I think I paid 800€) lasts around 5 hours of decent usage (Excel, writing Mails, PowerPoint and Web browsing). How long do you think would the machine push on like half brightness with those tasks in mind? Since that machine is still faster than my Windows machine, I would like to upgrade. Especially because I already own a 2018 iPad Pro as well as an iPhone 13.

    I like how Apple has done absolutely nothing to improve the design pr software over the older white one that was released back in 2015. Outside of the magic trackpad surface, literally any mouse within the same price range would be ergonomically better and more functional. -Can't charge and use -No adjustable DPI (adjusting sensitivity DOES NOT affect DPI, they are 2 separate things) -No easy multi device switching -No adjustable polling rate -Not USB C chargeable

    Yeah ... Drink more of that Kool-aid !! - It never really feel comfortable using it. Too low profile design, perhaps ? I spent my own $$ buying a Logictech Mouse rather than using this POS they had at work. - Tactile is king !! I need buttons I can click, scrool wheel I can move. That's why gamers would choose physical contollers with actual buttons any times. I really think Humans prefer that natural force feedback feels than this gimmicky touch mouse.

  • @Spidouz
    @Spidouz Před měsícem

    I’m an Apple fan (and user), but the bottom charger is the most stupid design EVER… stop trying to justify it for the look of it… functions over aesthetics, the mouse is useless if you can’t use it while you charge it.

    • @andreasandor5318
      @andreasandor5318 Před měsícem

      yeah, but you only charge it every couple of months, so it isnt really a hassle. If you had to charge it everyday than i would agree but since it only bothers you every couple of months, plus you can just charge it when you see the battery is starting to get low and then youre not using it at that moment, I dont think its really a problem.

    • @Spidouz
      @Spidouz Před měsícem

      It oesn’t change the fact that the design is completely flawed, regardless if you charge it once a month or every day… you’re making excuses for a bad design, that’s bad consumerism…

    • @andreasandor5318
      @andreasandor5318 Před měsícem

      @@Spidouz depends on what youre calling design. if minimalism is the goal, then the mouse achieved your goal, but if youre going for usefullness then the mouse fails that part. But even if youre going for usefullness, it isnt something thats very bothering, and something that can be easily fixed: when you see it is only 50% or less, put it on charger after you use it, it doesnt take that much. Im not making excuses because i love everything that apple does, Im just saying that I think people put too much attention to this one detail as if it mattered. If you want the magic mouse because of the gestures and compatibility, then you shouldnt change your mind just because every once in a while you have to leave it on a charger, which like i said before is very preventable.

    I appreciate your review, and nothing against it- very well presented, but just no! I had the original mouse and developed severe hand cramps after 1 hour of use. Also, the bluetooth was finicky (tho I think you said it’s improved). Finally, bluetooth is just not very accurate for precise graphic work. I’ll stick with my old fashioned usb mouse until perhaps the next upgrade.

    I've used the MM2 for about 4 months & find it a pain in the ass to use! I purchased it when I bought my Apple Studio alongside my M Keyboard. I lose soooooo much productivity using this mouse that I'm seriously thinking of ditching it. The problem isn't ergonomics, but jut the way my hand sits on the mouse. My left finger doesn't sit where the left finger should sit & if I had an ergo mouse would sit, but rather in the middle/right of the mouse. so when I (subconsciously) go to press to get a required action, I'm clicking 2 to 4 times to get what I want. It would help if Apple had a little indentation where the left/right finger should be on the mouse. So Peter, if you have any handy hints to combat the positioning of the fingers, please share.

    @migueltoledo1884 Před měsícem

    I honestly like the Magic Mouse - mostly for it's gestures and functionality. That said, there are 3 major things that could use improvement: 1. Ergonomics. Unless your hand is flat and tiny, it's just not very good to hold for more than an hour or so. 2. The polling rate. I believe it's only 90Hz. With a 60Hz screen it's fine, but anything higher that that and it feels sluggish. 3. Use USB-C charging. With the iPhone 15 series, now all major Apple products use USB-C to charge.

Battery life isn't great but it charges quickly. I'm on Android 14 and just had the final 14 patch, but I've a security app installed, so no worries. The camera and software are great, and I hardly ever take my Canon DSLR with me when I'm out on a hike any more because this phone just slips in the pocket. Thanks for the great review!
