Magic mouse 2 is the worst mouse I have used since I stopped using mice with the ball inside.
It's too shallow for my hands
It has a rough edge around the back when it should be smooth, the cheap plastic top doesn't line up perfectly with the metallic base.
And does tell you, you are low on battery until the day you need to recharge and you can't use it and recharge!!
It is the epitomy of bad design.
But that said I like the look of the older mice!
- doctor_eval 6y agoMeh, I love my magic mouse 2!!
- highmastdon 6y agoI honestly don’t see a purpose for a mouse when you have a state of the art, not yet surpassed trackpad. Of course it is mostly regarding the MacBooks, not when you’re using an iMac or Mac Pro even though the wireless versions are also a joy to use, except for the delay you get when you’re used to a built in trackpad
- dtech 6y agoUsing a trackpad permanently seems like a recipe for RSI, at least I will have pain in my hand for a day or so if I use the trackpad for more than a few hours.
- aldanor 6y agoAre you for serious now? Ok, try to log in to app.sketchup.com and play around with it. For instance, try holding the mouse wheel button and move the mouse around while doing it, to pan.
- keymone 6y agoComes down to personal preference. I liked the touch functionality much more than i disliked shallowness and rough edges. It was very much shit for gaming though.
- izacus 6y agoSame for me. It's especially stark if you compare it to something like Logitech's MX Master 2S, which just naturally slips into your hand, has enough of weight for each move to feel deliberate, has great button response and can be charged while in use.
- rbg246 6y agoThank you, how long have you used it for? I'm always distrustful of fancy looking mice but I read a list of the features and it looks great
- sdflhasjd 6y agoI've been using an MX Master for the past 5 years now, and it's the best mouse I've ever used. Nothing is perfect though, and here are some flaws: - The battery is not properly user-replaceable (you'd need to peel the feet off to dismantle and plop in a new one). It's a lithium battery so obviously degrades over time. - The logitech software is necessary to configure the gestures (you also need it if you want to change the scroll ratchet behaviour). The software is a little bit annoying and autoupdates, not sure what you can do if you're a linux user. - The gesture button (which is hidden under the thumb-rest side of the mouse) has to be pressed _down_ to activate, which I still find a little awkward. - Bluetooth on macs can be spotty (reconnects every hour or so on my macbook, which loses the cursor for a couple of second) - the dongle is more reliable, but there's only a USB-A dongle. It's also not cheap and there's no left-handed option. The 2S is just a slightly upgraded model with a bigger battery.
- frosted-flakes 6y agoRegarding setting scroll wheel settings on Linux, if you set them on a Windows machine, the mouse should remember them, even if you switch to a different machine. I also swapped the gesture and top button, so pressing down with my thumb switches between free-scrolling and detent mode and I use my index finger for gestures.
