Apple's '''Magic Mouse''' line are wireless [[mouse|mice]] for Apple [[Macintosh]] computers.

==Description==
The mice are very flat, and symmetric.
The bottom is anodised aluminium, like contemporary Macintosh computers.

The top surface is touch-sensitive, and also recognises scrolling gestures. When used with Apple computers, they also recognise two-finger gestures.
Like the mice with scrolling ball before it, they are clicked by rocking the entire surface forwards, with the right button recognised by there being a touch on the top/right.

The optical sensor is located in the front half next to a on/off switch.

==Version history==
===A1296 MB829LL/A: "Magic Mouse"===
It was introduced in 2009 as a replacement of the [[Apple A1197|Wireless Mighty Mouse]], which got discontinued after Apple had been sued for trademark infringement.

It uses classic Bluetooth, and runs on 2 AA batteries inside a lid on the bottom.

===A1657: "Magic Mouse 2"===
Introduced in 2015 together with the [[Apple Magic Trackpad|Magic Trackpad 2]] and the [[Apple Magic Keyboard|Magic Keyboard]]. When buying a new desktop Macintosh, customers had to choose between the mouse or the trackpad. It is also available separately.

Known revisions are MLA02LL/A and MRME2LL/A, both apparently available in white/silver and in black/space grey.

It contains a non-replaceable 1986 mAh rechargeable battery, and charges via a Lightning port on the bottom of the mouse — which makes it impossible to use the mouse while charging.

Uses Bluetooth 3.0. 
Like the [[Apple Magic Keyboard|Magic Keyboard]] it uses a proprietary method for secure automatic pairing of Bluetooth credentials over the Lightning/USB cable.
Automatic pairing is done by [[macOS]] X 10.11 "El Capitan" or higher.

===A1657 MK2E3: "Magic Mouse"===
When shipped with a colourful 2021 iMac, the bottom is anodised in a matching colour.
Only silver-grey is available to buy separately. The mouse comes with a USB C-to-Lightning cable, as newer Macs don't have USB A ports.

==Software==
===MacOS===
Upon introduction, the contemporary [[MacOS]] version (10.5.8) required a Wireless Software Update 1.0 to work.

Pairing the Magic Mouse 2 is supported by MacOS X 10.11 "El Capitan" or later.

===iPad===
It has been reported to not work with iPadOS 13.3 even though it did with iPadOS 13.<ref>MacWorld—[https://www.macworld.com/article/233873/why-did-apple-drop-support-for-the-magic-mouse-2-on-the-ipad.html Why did Apple drop support for the Magic Mouse 2 on the iPad?]. Dated 2020-02-24. Retrieved 2021-05-03</ref>
Support was reenabled with iPadOS 13.4, but without scrolling or gesture support.

===Windows===
* Under Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, Apple's "Boot Camp" drivers could be used.
* [https://magicutilities.net/magic-mouse/features Magic Mouse Utilities] for Windows 10, adds horizontal scrolling and finger gestures to [[Microsoft Windows]]. Supports versions 7,8 and 10, both 32-bit and 64-bit.

===Linux===
Supported is in the [[Linux]] kernel since 2.6.23-rc1.

==Accessories==
Notable accessories:
* '''MouseBase''': A (more) ergonomic outer plastic shell. Uses mirrors to account for the additional height from the sensor to the desk surface.
* [https://mobeetech.myshopify.com/products/magic-charger Mobee Magic Charger] for the first generation mice. Replaces the battery compartment with a battery that can be charged with an inductive charger.
