4.0 out of 5 starsIt's a Magic Mouse, but it's black. Brilliant.
Reviewed in Australia on 13 April 2022
I upgraded from the original Magic Mouse (the one that took 2 AA batteries) and I will say that the the first obvious difference was the reduction in weight over the old one. The newer ones are a lot less fatiguing to use over the course of a day than the original one. Combined with a slightly improved design of the sleds underneath the mouse uses to glide on, it makes it a really nice upgrade.
The black is both bold and sleek, and it complements the design of the new Studio Display and even the old Thunderbolt Display, which I'm using it with.
I'd give it 5 stars but I would have like to see these new revisions of the Keyboard, Mouse and Trackpad using USB C. I understand that Apple would consider the MFi program for Lightning cables and accessories as a revenue stream, and it makes sense to them to keep that going for as long as they can. Perhaps on the next generation of products?
This being said, the included Lightning cable is USB C on the other end, and looks to be really high quality compared to their older style rubber coated cords everyone would be familiar with.
