So I see that you can buy the new magic keyboard with touchID now. I'm gonna pick up the new Magic Trackpad as it aesthetically matched the new keyboard.

I see there is a new mouse too. Is there any differences from the Magic Mouse 2? Maybe better bluetooth???
 
It looks like the only difference with the new mouse is that it's usb-c to lightning instead of usb-a, and that it's $79 instead of $99. Unfortunately the charging port is still on the bottom.

True and some smaller changes on the design can't put my finger on it but it feels more round in the edges.
I did receive my today.
 
Is the model number on the back of the mouse still A1657? If so, that should mean the mouse didn't change at all, right? Except for the USB-C cable.
 
wish they would have released magic mouse with side button(s) or touch screen so you can use your big finger for touch click, scroll/precise scroll and second click/touch button on bent big finger
 
Can you use the new Magic Mouse while charging? Nice industrial design, Sir Jony!

That engineering student who modded his iPhone with a USB-C connection should take up modding a Magic Mouse so you can use the [redacted] thing while charging!

Well, it's so fast charging so for me it's not a issue. I can put it in the charger go and grab a cop coffee and then just use it again. And just keep an eye on the battery. Got 23% left now and I'll use it trough the day and then charge it during the night not a big deal.
