Apple Magic Mouse 2

love it or hate it

Even at the announcement stage, the Magic Mouse 2 split the techno crowd, becoming a potential object of adoration for some users and a subject of hatred for others. And this is not surprising, with such a combination of progressive technical chips with rather strange engineering solutions.

Huge touchpad

It all starts with the design. Like the first Magic Mouse, the second version uses a touch surface as a coating, like laptop touchpads. On the one hand, this made it possible to implement a full-fledged gesture control system — for example, convenient vertical scrolling instead of the traditional wheel. On the other hand, the gesture control system itself does not always work the way you expect it to. The scaling implementation is especially annoying. The flattened shape of the mouse causes no less controversy: for the sake of the aesthetics of the Magic Mouse 2, it turned out to be very low. And again, some users say that this is the most comfortable mouse in the world, others advise not to come closer to it than a cannon shot. On our own, we add that if you are used to convex classical manipulators, then Magic Mouse 2 will make you suffer. At least until the hands get used to the height, and the brain does not change from mechanical buttons to touch controls.

fast charging

Well, according to the good tradition of Apple, Magic Mouse 2 is much more expensive than it could be. Of course, not like those famous Mac Pro wheels for the price of a moped, but much more expensive than any other mouse on the market. But Apple's logic is simple and clear — fork out for a brand new MacBook? Then there is nothing to reap money for the periphery. Well, if you put aside the money issue, then the only complaint about the mouse is the location of the charging port. Due to the fact that it is built into the bottom, you will not be able to use the mouse while charging. And while charging, it will have to be put on its side. Design by design, but this is the real middle finger of practicality. On the other hand, the built-in battery holds a charge for about 30 days, charges for 9 hours in 2 minutes, and it takes only an hour to fully charge it. So there will be no time to suffer because of an unexpectedly sat down mouse.
