Magic Mouse 2022 và Magic Mouse 2
|
Apple launched a fancy, new Mac Studio desktop computer and Studio Display yesterday, but the company also launched a couple of new accessories to match the new devices. Apple's sleek Magic Mouse is now available in a black-silver combo, together with the Magic Trackpad and Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keyboard, which are now also available in a similar black-silver combination. It's worth noting that the Mac Studio isn't available in black, only silver. But the new Studio Display has black bezels (and a silver stand) so...we guess you have to like both silver and black to match all these together? Finally, black accessories to match your new Mac Studio, which isn't available in black. Credit: Apple Functionally, these devices seem to be the same as the old, white versions. You could buy some black/silver accessories together with the Mac Pro, but they weren't available on their own until now. Unfortunately, this also means that the Magic Mouse still has a USB-C charging port at the bottom, meaning you cannot use the mouse while charging it. Hello, bottom charger. We still don't like you. Credit: Apple Granted, this doesn't happen very often — Apple says the battery lasts for about a month between charges — but it's still a clumsy design decision that feels very un-Apple like. The prices for the trio are as follows: $99 for the Magic Mouse, $149 for the Magic Trackpad, and $199 for the Magic Keyboard. Yes, they all cost $20 more than the white versions. You can order them all now from Apple Store. Test ResultsDesign Type Standard Coating Glossy Lighting Color No Lighting The Magic Mouse 2 has a sleek, simple, and professional design that is very slim and portable. If you like the low profile design but don't like tactile commands, check out the Logitech Pebble M350. For a more conventional design, check out the Logitech M535.  Length 4.5" (114 mm) Width 2.2" (57 mm) Height 0.8" (21 mm) Grip Width 56 mm Ambidextrous True Ambidextrous Left-Handed Friendly Yes Finger Rest No Box Volume 8.30 in³ (136 cm³) Receiver Storing No Receiver The Apple Magic Mouse 2 is extremely compact and slim, great for carrying with you. The Apple Magic Mouse 2 has great build quality. It appears well-built, made of aluminum and acrylic. The feet on the bottom are well-made and solid, but they don't slide very well when used on a mouse pad. Lowest Weight 98.8 g Default Weight 98.8 g Weight Distribution Centered Extra Weights No This is a fairly lightweight mouse, but the weight can't be customized. Palm Grip Hand Recommendation Claw Grip Hand Recommendation Fingertip Grip Hand Recommendation Unfortunately, the Apple Magic Mouse 2 has mediocre ergonomics. It isn't well-suited for traditional palm grips, and can only be used comfortably with a fingertip grip, even if you have small hands. If you want a mouse with better ergonomics, check out the Razer Pro Click. Maximum Of Paired Devices 1 Bluetooth Yes Receiver No Battery Type Rechargeable Use When Charging No On/Off Activation Auto Off And On/Off Switch Receiver Extender No Battery Indicator No This mouse supports Bluetooth and has a built-in rechargeable battery. It can't be used wired, as the charging port is underneath the mouse, which is a bit of a strange design. It automatically turns off after a period of inactivity, so you don't have to worry about turning it off.

Control Total Number Of Buttons 1 Number Of Side Buttons 0 Number Of Programmable Inputs 0 Profile Switching Button No Gesture Support Yes The entire surface of the Magic Mouse is tactile. While there's only one physical button, it allows for a left as well as a right-click if enabled within macOS. Expected Connection 44.4 ms Wired N/A Receiver N/A Bluetooth 44.4 ms Unfortunately, the Magic Mouse has terrible click latency. It's also very inconsistent, even compared to other productivity mice that connect wirelessly via Bluetooth. This exceptionally high latency won't present problems for productivity tasks or everyday browsing, but you may occasionally notice a small delay before your mouse clicks register on-screen. This mouse isn't recommended for gaming in any genre.

Scroll Wheel Tactile Surface Scroll Wheel Steps No Step Scroll Wheel Tilt No Thumb Wheel Tactile Surface Thumb Wheel Steps No Thumb Wheel While there is no physical scroll wheel, the touch-sensitive surface of the mouse serves as one, allowing both vertical as well as horizontal scrolling. Since touch gestures only work on macOS, there is no scroll wheel if you use this mouse with Windows. Operating System And Software
Software Name No software Software Windows Compatibility No Software macOS Compatibility No On-Board Memory No CPI (DPI) Adjustment No Polling Rate Adjustment No Profile Configuration No Profile Auto-Switching No RGB On/Off No RGB There's no available companion software for this mouse. Windows Compatibility Partially macOS Compatibility Fully The Apple Magic Mouse 2 is fully compatible with any recent Mac but is only partially compatible with Windows. When used with Windows, it works like a normal mouse, but the gesture controls don't work, including the scroll gesture. There are Windows drivers available, but we haven't tested them, and the installation process doesn't appear to be very straightforward. |
