I leave mine on 24/7 and and a full charge doesn't seem to last very long. After a full charge I noticed it was down 15% after 24 hours.

I'm using it with a new M1 Mac mini. No connectivity issues. The mouse is about 1 month old.

How long does your full charge last and do you turn it off when not using.

Thanks in advance.
 
I use mine with an M1 mini too. I don't turn mine off when not using, and a full charge lasts at least a month if not more. I don't really pay that much attention to it because it seems I rarely have to charge it. That said, I alternate with a wired mouse for gaming.
 
I use mine with my late 2019 Intel Macbook Pro 16. Mine can easily last 2-3 months or so (never switched off) - I actually very rarely charge it (or my keyboard) so, like the above poster, never really pay much attention to it. Have been very impressed with battery life on both the keyboard and MM2.
 
Don't use mine very often anymore (doesn't work well with my old Windows software) but when I did, it would last 1 to 2 months, maybe more. I never turned it off.
 
MM2 with MBA M1, leave it on all the time, play a couple of games daily that requires repetitive clicking for most of the game. charge lasts close to 2 months.
 
Thanks all, I definitely have something wrong with mine. Full charge is only lasting a week at most.

Gong to try and exchange it.

A new Magic Mouse 2 is on the way!

Doing an exchange via mail.
 
Received the new Magic Mouse 2 this morning from Apple. 24 hour turn-around. Working great!

Good timing because the bad Magic Mouse 2 was dying fast. Lost 30% of a full charge in a few hours.

The ergonomics of this mouse is soooooo bad, how do people stand it?
it fits perfectly in my cupped hand with the ends of my fingers resting on the front of the mouse, requiring light pressure to click or swipe. probably one of the most comfortable mouse I've used. and to be honest, when I first received it I thought it would be hard to become comfortable with it, but within a few days it wasn't even a thought, it was just natural.
 
I am experiencing an 8 to 10 percent drop a day. Think I will have to replace mine too. Recently using a universal USB charger though as I could also charge my phone with it. The mouse was bought Oktober 2017. Could it have worn out? I use it a lot as home worker.
