Apple Magic Mouse 2

The Apple Magic Mouse 2 looks and feels the same as its predecessor, and now comes with rechargeable batteries. Its minimalist design may not be comfortable for everyone, however, and the Lightning port isn't in the best location.

Rechargeable battery. Multitouch surface. Good for both left- and right-handed use. Automatically pairs with Macs via Bluetooth. Ships with Lightning-to-USB cable.

Requires OS X El Capitan or later. Cannot use the mouse while it is charging. Shallow design doesn't fill the curve of your hand.

Conclusion The Apple Magic Mouse 2 is an evolutionary update to a distinctive, minimalist design. It addresses the issue of burning through disposable batteries, and using the Lightning-to-USB cable to pair the mouse instead of mucking about with...

Apple Magic Mouse 2 review: Mouse unable to conjure up any innovation

Apple's new Magic Mouse 2 isn't really that much different from the original Magic Mouse. It has major changes that affect how the mouse moves and a new built-in battery. But there's nothing about the Magic Mouse 2 that will make you ditch your current...

I think we can agree that input devices might be the most personal parts of a personal computer. Therefore, opinions about input devices like mice are highly subjective, and my reasons for not liking Apple mice are a matter of taste and how they fit my...

Apple Magic Mouse 2 Review

The Magic Mouse 2 benefits from strong fundamentals. While it isn't without its design blind spots, Apple's excellent build quality and features make it a decent dedicated mouse option for users in need of a Bluetooth mouse.

The Apple Magic Mouse 2 has excellent build quality.

Apple inconveniently placed the charging port on the bottom of the Mouse.

Design quirks aside, the Magic Mouse 2 features strong build quality and steady scrolling performance.

Apple's new iMac accessories – the Magic Mouse 2, Magic Trackpad 2 and the Magic Keyboard – are a huge improvement over the models that were unchanged for years. These older models were all powered by AA batteries and looked a lot bulkier than these...

Brilliant!

I've been using a Apple mouse with batteries. This one is charged through the USB and it is a whole lot better than continually recharging batteries.

Love it

What can I say. It's just a very beautiful piece of kit. I bought it to use with my MacBook, it's a bit pricey for what it is, but worth every penny. No regrets.

Excellent Piece of Tech

This is a fantastic bit of kit, links easily with the mac. Very good features, far better than the standard mouse, pay the extra buy the wireless magic mouse, don't bother with the wired version.
