The Magic Mouse has the charging connector at the bottomwhich prevents you from using them when they are connected, something that many may see as a con, since it could leave you stranded at any time, and not be able to use it with a cable.
Battery life and charging of a Magic Mouse
The new version, as we said, will bring with it the USB-C port, however, the design and other features remain the same, so we will not see a change in the product itself.
Now, how long does its battery last? Well, from personal experiences, and according to each person’s use, we could talk between 1 and 2 months of autonomywhich is pretty impressive and the reason why the charging port is located at the bottom.
It is true that if we have an emergency or we have not realized that it has no battery, we will not be able to use it while it is charging, however, Less than 5 minutes of charging will last us an entire workdayand more, so Apple wants to reward elegance before use, especially when that is the case.
Total charging time is around 2 hourswhich would give you, at least, another month of use. This means that, unlike other models and brands, it is not necessary to use it while charging, since the extreme situations where it would be needed are minimal, and as we said, with a few minutes we would have enough for the whole day, if we need it and We can’t wait the 2 hours.
The fact of putting a connector on one side or at the top, it would make this look very ugly, and Apple does not want to give the user the opportunity to even try it. For both the black and white versions, the connector is located on the same side, and it will not depend, either, on the year and version of the product, since they had the opportunity to change it now that they put USB-C, but we have seen that it was not their objective, and that they continue to commit to it, just as they designed it at the beginning.
And you, how do you see this? Do you really think it would be better to give the user the opportunity to use the cable? For my part, and at least my situation of using the mouse, it makes it look better to have to charge it this way, being much more aesthetic, since I have never had a problem because of it, and the speed with which it recharges the battery It is so fast that there are no problems leaving it charging for 5 minutes, although it will depend on each person. Leave us a comment with yours, and if you had changed anything else in the redesign of this Magic Mouse USB-C from 2024which was accompanied by the Magic Keyboard with the same change.
