Does Apple mouse wake your Mac with just movement?

New m2 Mac mini and studio display. My old Logitech mouse looks out of place. Time to replace.

Does the current apple mouse wake our macs if bumped?

I like my Logitech mouse because you have to click the mouse to wake the Mac. This is important when you have cats.

Thanks

Just tried - if you bump it in the first 5 seconds of it going to sleep, it’ll wake. But after that, no, only a click will wake it.

I thought that was just how macOS works...not the type of mouse. Regardless, the same behavior is seen on my Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad.

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure before I placed my order. Some Bluetooth mice do stay on all the time. I have a Logitech pebble. Even hours of no use. A small bump and it wakes. But my Logitech MX only wakes on button click.
Thanks

A mouse is one item I will choose to use based totally on comfort and functionality, certainly not because "it looks out of place". Who cares how it looks?

My Logitech MX Master mouse wakes on movement.

The apple mouse might look nice but it is an ergonometric disaster. Charging port on bottom, doesn't fit the hand. I prefer function over looks so have a Logitech MX Master 3 which exactly fits my hand.

Nice to know... What I usually do after moving the Logitech wireless [bluetooth] mouse when my MacBook Pro is on sleep and it does not respond, I press the power button in the keyboard and it wakes up...

Yeah, movement only doesn't seem to wake the display with a longer wait. Wakes on my Studio with a click on the primary button.
