Apple Magic Mouse deal: Pros and cons
Magic Mouse is wireless and rechargeable, with an optimized foot design that lets it glide smoothly across your desk. The Multi-Touch surface allows you to perform simple gestures such as swiping between web pages and scrolling through documents. The rechargeable battery will power your Magic Mouse for about a month between charges.
- Multi-Touch gestures
- USB-C connector
- Slim design
For many people, the Apple Magic Mouse is a no-brainer. You use a Mac, so of course you use the official Apple mouse. It shows up regularly in our setups posts. And it helps that the input device is beautiful — so slim and sleek with no unsightly buttons or ports. It doesn’t need a scroll wheel, either, as the mouse offers trackpad-style swiping and scrolling gestures.
Plus, the Bluetooth device no longer uses Apple’s old Lightning charging port. Now it comes with a USB-C port, so it charges with the same cable as a MacBook or other Apple device.
It works with your Mac, MacBook and iPad, and is trim enough to go where you need it, fitting easily in a backpack or even a pocket.
The port’s on the bottom, but at least it’s USB-C
All that said, the Apple Magic Mouse certainly has detractors. The most notable criticism is that it maintains its sleek appearance by putting the charging port on the bottom, so the input device can’t be used while juicing up.

The version in black is not part of this sale, and it always costs more. Still, Amazon dropped the price by 5%, so it sets you back $94 for Apple’s mouse in a noir color scheme.

That’s because he’s a “tablet first” type of guy. Rather than use a Macbook, he connects a keyboard case to the iPad. And instead of a desktop Mac, he connects his tablet to a 27-inch display and full-size keyboard. (So don’t try to tell him that everyone has to use a Mac to be productive.)
