I used both as daily drivers.
With the prior version, I started out just changing out the normal AA batteries when they died every several months. That felt wasteful, though, so I got rechargeable AA batteries, but swapping them out every month or so was tedious.
Now I just plug it in every few weeks when I leave the office for the weekend. I definitely prefer it.
- pm 9y agoHandy to know. I didn't know if there was a subtle difference between the Magic Mouse 1 and 2 other than the charging port (which honestly is in a ridiculous position). I started using the original in 2010 and haven't looked back.
- christoph 9y agoI honestly think it was a conscious decision. The problem with most wireless mice I see in our office is they end up being left constantly plugged in and are essentially wired mice. By placing the charge port on the bottom they are actively prohibiting you from using it as wired mouse.
- madeofpalk 9y agoBut that doesn't explain the keyboard and trackpad though, which can be used while plugged in and charging.
- Nullabillity 9y agoHow is that an issue? If anything, that just shows how pointless it was to run it over Bluetooth in the first place.
