Logitech MX Master 3 has the usb-c port on the front of the mouse (where it should be), you can't see the port. The mouse is also prettier than the "magic" mouse and actually comfortable.
Please know you're wrong.

Knowing Apple, they will literally slap a USB C port on all devices without any upgrades. Biggest ask I have is backlight on the Magic Keyboard and a refreshed Magic Mouse that isnt garbage.
I would ditch the Magic Keyboard in one second if other manufacturers offered TouchID on their peripherals.

Literally took 9 years from putting a USB-C port on a mac to putting it on their peripherals.

It's wild how precise I can be with it. I seriously cannot imagine using a trackpad and windows, but it really is that much better on a Mac.
Because the last time mine dropped dead it was in the middle of a major incident I was dealing with. And it was on a mac mini so it didn't have a track pad. I ended up plugging in a crappy USB logitech one.
I've been a Trackpad user since I started using one around 2011. I don't like the Magic Mouse, and if I'm using a mouse on a Mac, I'd prefer to use an older Mighty Mouse (it has better gestures than the Magic!), honestly. I hope these all get updated with USB-C like everyone else seems to want, but honestly I just want them to be a bit cheaper to buy brand new. Give me the option to buy the iMac-themed color options without buying an iMac too! I wanna get an orange Trackpad and keyboard for my setup someday!
The apple magic mouse is one of the few mice that DOESN'T give me hand issues. Everyone has their own problems, for sure, but I love this thing. omni Scrolling is fantastic. It kinda sucks in one or two adobe apps that use scroll for zooming, but I can deal with that.
I wonder if they would switch to wireless charging instead of USB-C. Boy, that would be hilarious. A big price hike, too, just to pour lemon juice in the paper cut.
So much butt hurt over mouse charging. It isn't ideal positioning if you routinely run out of juice completely and want to use it while charging, but this mouse BARELY needs to charge. I just plug it in at the end of the day, or top off the battery while I go have lunch.

From the god awful puck mouse to the charge port no-no on the last one, question comes how do they screw it up again...
I'm presuming they do USB-C, and somehow change the surface of the mouse so its some sort of 3D touchpad, so the mouse never physically moves, much like a trackball mouse but same small size so the mouse never stays put.
Prove us wrong Apple, and hit one out of the circular park?

I can’t be the only one wanting Apple to compete 1x1 with Logitech with a pro keyboard and mouse. Even though prices would be exorbitant, would be fun to watch. Killer feature of Logitech MX is the MX Master’s magnetic scrollwheel, which I imagine is patented.
RF Harvesting would be really cool in the next peripherals, but I’m not sure if that would provide enough power to fully eliminate the need to charge. Update will probably be switch to USB-C, and I’ll continue to use my MX gear 😅

Right? I love mine, but I also got a Logi MX combo and that keyboard is sweet. The battery seems to be eternal and it has backlight.
Wouldn't that make it harder because the light would be shining upward and make your hand even harder to detect? Seems like in this case you need a downward light from somewhere higher.
Only if they also replace all the buttons with a touch surface while they're at it. Just ship it with a hammer so the user can break their own fingers before they start using it.
It really is wild to me. The Magic Mouse is *objectively bad* and it's been their mouse for so long now, it's worse than the puck.
Apple's going to move the charging port...but just a few millimetres, just to stick to everyone.

I got the mouse but I never use it because I like the trackpad on my MacBook.
I cant use a Magic Mouse for prolonged periods, because it eventually causes cramping in my fingers. However, the gesture integration is absolutely fantastic. I'd be tempted to buy a newer model if there are some changes to the flat design, but I'm not sure how they're going to accomplish that and keep the gestures. The Magic Trackpad is ideal for me.
I don't care where the charging port is. But can we add force touch to Magic Mouse? Less moving parts for longer lifespan.
I hopt they don't just add USB-C and that's it. Would love to see a major redesign of the keyboard with a layout like the 75% mechanical keyboards with full sized arrow keys, and the mouse to have rounder edges, smoother gliding, and a charging port that lets you use it while charging, and/or wireless charging. Not holding my breath though, Apple is all about doing the bare minimum these days so I'm fully expecting the same exact hardware with USB-C
I’d be ok with this. Once they do this I can officially burn all of my lightning cables. I’m so excited to do so 🥰
I’m a mix. It depends what I’m doing. Generally I prefer a mouse hit the Magic Trackpad shines in a lot of areas.
I use the trackpad the most though because I have awful posture with the mouse. The trackpad forces me to sit proper.
