Review on Apple Magic Mouse 2 Wireless, Space Gray by Wiktor Niedzicki ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The purchase was not entirely successful, there were minor problems in use.

After making the decision to move all of my Photoshop work from a work PC to my personal Macbook, I set out to find a mouse, naturally one that used bluetooth. After perusing the poppy driver forums, I learned that many people believe that a magic mouse is the best option. Purchased on Amazon for $6500, took joy in return trip. Connected. Just like in a fairy tale, the simple solution did not pan out. The bluetooth mouse would not activate despite my repeated attempts. I used a USB to Type C adapter to hook up the mouse with a USB lightning cable. The procedure was completely automatic. The bomb that hit me! As it turned out, the mouse was not at all ideal for academic tasks. all has a sleek aluminum shell and a glass touch screen, and that's about all. Sometimes helpful actions are made. Very smooth scrolling; your finger may rest wherever on the mouse. All of this is just useful for casual web browsing. Either that, or you'll be working at a snail's pace. I knew the bluetooth mouse couldn't work so fast, and I didn't expect anything special from it, but what was going to be so bad I wasn't ready. I've been using the steelseries rival mouse on a working PC for a very long time because of its sensor and reliability; this allows you to control the cursor very accurately at any speed. The bad sensor is made more worse by the addition of an acceleration from hell that can't be disabled. The mouse's peculiar behavior can be traced back to the fact that in a laptop, a single driver is responsible for both the mouse and the trackpad. As a result, the trackpad will be rendered useless if you discover a way to stop mouse acceleration. Ergonomics comes next. It's terrible, but you can get used to it since there's no way to work swiftly on it without sacrificing ergonomics, and that's not a good thing. The touch surface is continuously trying to scroll on its own, which is annoying and, again, not noticeable in the browser. Another incident nobody talks about: it just has one button. It is possible to simulate pushing the correct button, but simultaneously pressing both buttons has no effect. The click is imperfect as well; while it is possible to click once, clicking again is laborious.

Pros
  • Quality of Design and Performance Constituents of the Human Form Surface touch/gestures - Powered by batteries
Cons
  • Everything Else: Sensor, Click, Comfortable Grip, Low-Quality, Slidy Legs, Touch Surface (Accidental Clicks), and Lightning Port at the Bottom for Recharging
