What to Expect From Apple's Magic Mouse 3 After Logitech Announces MX Master 4

[SnowCrocodile]

The Magic Mouse is, arguably, the worst product Apple ever continuously offered. I tried to get used to it but gave up after two weeks. It’s just atrocious.

The only problem with Logitech MX series (other than having to use their software to get some functionality) is that it’s too large for being a travel mouse. But in a desktop setup, it’s the best mouse I’ve ever used.

I never said it was a massive inconvenience, but it is just plain stupid design. I’ve been in situations at work where it suddenly died, and I had to be using it with a client.

Literally plugging it in for 5 seconds and unplugging it will give you 20+ minutes of battery life. Charge port is not a stupid design. It'll take you longer to reach for a cable to plug it in.

Your client will take longer than 5 seconds to respond to the question "So how was your day going".

This. Or take a 5 minute break, plug it in and you'll have hours to finish your work. I mean, there is bluetooth icon in the menu bar which tells you how much battery life you have.

My only downside to MM is low polling rate and general imprecision for some tasks.

I think the « for Mac » versions used to have different colors.

But now the only difference is they’re not including a Bolt USB Receiver in the box. They’re still selling it for the same price as the standard one tho 😂

i have this one: https://resource.logitech.com/conte...ightspeed-mouse-top-angle-white-gallery-1.png
its of the same colour of my magic keyboard and its not "for mac". and it includes usb receiver. the BT mouses doesnt include it as connects directly to BT

I imagine they may well follow the product lines with the new Magic Mouse 3 as they have for other Apple products as of late.
Magic Mouse Air - probably the same as MM 1 and 2 in terms of design
Magic Mouse Pro - New, more ergonomic design aimed at people who have purchased Logi MX mice. More ergonomic, more feature rich.... more expensive. I'd buy one

Apple pleaaaaaase. The only thing we need from this "magic" device is to be a quality mouse on its own. And please, make a normal zoom function, like with the touchpad. Nothing fancy like the mostly useless accessibility zoom. But normal zoom behaviour with just a key modifier. Its a software thing apple, you could have done that years ago. But OS26 and still nothing. Real shame.

P.S. i am only bothered by the charging port maybe twice a year, nothing that a sip of coffe could not solve, but i am really bothered by the lack of normal in window zoom DAILY!!!

I am constantly astounded by how many people are not bothered by the charging port. The only warning I get from my Mac is minutes before the mouse dies.
I started putting Calendar reminders on to charge the mouse, which I thought was stupid to have to do. That worked.
My brother-in-law got fed up with his Apple "Magic" Mouse being dead, so he gave it to me. Problem solved. One in use and the other fully charged.

So the fix is for Apple to sell the Magic Mouse in a two pack!
