In this article, we will review an old product by Apple that is Apple magic mouse 2, and we will also try to know whether it is worth buying at $99 (8900 INR) this year 2020.
Apple Magic Mouse was first launched in the year 2009. After that, Apple modified it and launched a better version, or we can say the second generation. That is Magic Mouse 2 in the year 2015. So, from 2015 till now, it is still selling and performing well, and definitely, it is liked by many.
Designs and Colour:
The Apple Magic Mouse 2 is very slim and light and has a surprising and classy look. This Mouse has mainly two color options first Silver and second Space Gray. Space Gray's price is a bit higher than the silver one. Overall it has got an eye-catchy design where you will have the charging option at the bottom.
As I have said, it has become much lighter now, plus you will get a rubber pad on the bottom of the Mouse to design it in such a way to make it more slippery than the Magic Mouse one. Now, it slides more easily on the desk.
In The Box:
If you open the box, you will find a data cable to charge it. Because, as you know, it doesn't have the old type battery. The batteries inside the box are entirely rechargeable. Plus, you will also get the fancy Mouse inside the box.
Multi-touch Upper Part:
Like any other Mouses, Magic Mouse doesn't have two separate keys on it. It only has a single key. And on the rest upper part has a multi-touch gesture option. Meaning it also supports gestures such as scrolling, zooming, switching windows with two fingers, and much more. You need to tap on it and scroll and swipe for different tasks to perform. Plus, there is no right-click or middle-click on the entire surface click.
So, if you click with the right finger, the Mouse knows that you touch the right-hand side, registering it as a right-click. Well, there is no force-touch on this Mouse, the one that has on Apple Magic trackpad. So, if you are looking for a force touch, you have to go for a Magic trackpad.
Batteries & Charging:
We do not get to see frequent updates on Magic Mouse 2, and there are a few smaller updates or changes made that we can see that differ Magic Mouse two from Magic Mouse one. The first change is that you no longer need double-a batteries for it to work. The batteries are now built right into the Mouse, and then you can charge them via lightning cable.
Now, if we talk about the charging cable, it is positioned on the bottom of the Mouse. That means you cannot use the mouse while charging it. It would be best if you waited until it is fully charged. There is indeed no other way of charging it because the upper part is made of glass and designed for other work.
Though in my opinion, it is a bit disturbing to charge the Mouse. Well, batteries are now much more potent that last even longer than before. On Magic Mouse two, you can also find Bluetooth 4.0 that pairs with your device faster and more efficiently and consumes less battery.
Conclusion:
Magic Mouse 2 is a cool invention by Apple. Indeed I like all the products by Apple but honestly, if I talk mainly about this product, then I would say I do not prefer this product, especially if you are into some intensive work like video editing, graphic designing or App development or any work where you have to work for 8-10 hours.
And you have to hold a mouse for long hours then this Mouse will be painful to you. Well, as it is a low profile mouse, it will not be as comfortable as other high profile mouses like Logitech MX MASTER 3 or MX Anywhere. Even if you use this Logitech mouse for 10-12 hours, you will not feel uncomfortable for a single second. In my opinion, Magic Mouse 2 is not worth it in 2020 if we consider the comfort part.
Otherwise, it is an elegant, very delicate mouse. And have some unique features like multi-touch gestures that you are not going to find anywhere. If we consider the brand value that Apple provides and keep in mind the Multi-touch features, the $80 is fine for this Silver Magic Mouse.
