Mice · Tested since May 2026
Apple Magic Mouse
I know this mouse gets a pile of hate, and I genuinely like it anyway. It is the one I travel with: flat enough to disappear into a bag, it pairs and just works across my Apple gear, and it holds a charge for weeks. The famous flaw is real, but it has never actually gotten in my way. If space wasn't an issue, I'd be taking a Logitech MX Anywhere 3S because I genuinely appreciate the feel of that one more, but I'm always a suck for space saving when possible.

The verdict
On my desk since May 2026, and it scores 7.0 out of 10.
Everything above comes from running it on real call days, not from a spec sheet — the flaws worth knowing are in the trade-offs, not buried in a spec table. How I rate gear.
What works
- Flat and light, so it vanishes into a travel bag
- Pairs instantly and works seamlessly across Apple devices
- Holds a charge for weeks at a time
- Charging port is on the underside, so no use while charging (a quick top-up lasts hours)
- The flat shape is built for portability, not all-day ergonomics
Scored on four things
