APPLE MAGIC MOUSE UTILITIES UPDATE
Upon introduction, the contemporary MacOS version (10.5.8) required a Wireless Software Update 1.0 to work. The mouse comes with a USB C-to-Lightning cable, as newer Macs don't have USB A ports. Only silver-grey is available to buy separately. When shipped with a colourful 2021 iMac, the bottom is anodised in a matching colour. Like the Magic Keyboard it uses a proprietary method for secure automatic pairing of Bluetooth credentials over the Lightning/USB cable.Īutomatic pairing is done by macOS X 10.11 "El Capitan" or higher. 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. Known revisions are MLA02LL/A and MRME2LL/A, both apparently available in white/silver and in black/space grey. When buying a new desktop Macintosh, customers had to choose between the mouse or the trackpad. Introduced in 2015 together with the Magic Trackpad 2 and the Magic Keyboard. It uses classic Bluetooth, and runs on 2 AA batteries inside a lid on the bottom. It was introduced in 2009 as a replacement of the Wireless Mighty Mouse, which got discontinued after Apple had been sued for trademark infringement. Version history A1296 MB829LL/A: "Magic Mouse" The optical sensor is located in the front half next to a on/off switch. 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. When used with Apple computers, they also recognise two-finger gestures. The top surface is touch-sensitive, and also recognises scrolling gestures. The bottom is anodised aluminium, like contemporary Macintosh computers.
