In addition, it also presented the new generation of peripherals for this device such as the Magic Keyboardhe Magic Trackpad and the Magic Mouse replacing the lightning connector of all of them with the USB-C port. Apple has finally realized that it is necessary to forget about this port, which is no longer available on the iPhone or iPad.
However, it seems that they have not had time to change the design of the Magic Mouse, since it still has the charging port at the bottom just like the previous generation. Either they haven’t had time or as Steve Jobs said with the Antennagate of the iPhone 4, “we are using it wrong.”
Apple and its designs
Apple could have taken the opportunity to change the design and stop making a fool of itself and star again in a large number of memes that already originated with the launch of the Magic Mouse 2 when it implemented the charging port at the bottom. It feels like Apple isn’t paying any attention to its peripherals, especially this device.
A few months ago, the YouTuber Marques Brownlee had the opportunity to interview the company’s head, Tim Cook. Brownlee asked him about the Magic Mouse without citing the design of the charging port on the bottom. Tim Cook responded, as is usual when he is not interested in a question, acting crazy as you can see below.

As compatible as all of Apple’s Mac peripherals offer support for fast charging and with a few minutes of charging we can use it for several hours, there is no need to force the user to have to turn it over to charge it while looking at the device screen.
This also forces them to remember to charge the device when they stop working if they do not want to be turning the mouse over for a few minutes every day without being able to interact with the computer.
The Magic Mouse, since the first generation, has, like any other mouse, a right and a left button. It lacks a scroll wheel, offering this function by sliding your finger between the two buttons thanks to the Multi-Touch function, hence it has a really attractive design and is the preferred option of the most loyal users of the company.
However, it is not practical since it seems like additional buttons to perform additional tasks that help us improve our productivity. Furthermore, it is not exactly cheap since it is available for low price of 119.99 euros. For that same price, on the market we can find a large number of mice like the Logitech MX Master 3Swhich has two scroll wheels and up to 6 buttons that we can customize, designed specifically to improve productivity and costs less than 100 euros.
As a former Mac user and after having used the Magic Mouse for many years, after switching to PC, I opted for Logitech’s MX Master, a mouse that has a high autonomy, is very comfortable due to its ergonomic design and through the Logi application I can Add any function you need to the extra buttons.
