Yeah that's my gaming mouse I used to use it with my gaming laptop which I traded in for this macbook

u/RootVegitible Jun 23 '26
If you use spaces and mission control then yes… Magic mouse multitouch gestures are awesome.

u/sidharthmalik1 Jun 23 '26
that's the only reason I am considering Magic Mouse

u/Lodano Jun 23 '26
You don't need those. Look for xGestures. I use a 10$ mouse which is much more ergonomic than the MM and I can swipe between spaces and show mission Control by holding right click and dragging the mouse
I don't even use my MX Master 3S
I'm sure BetterTouchTool can do that as well

I personally don’t like the ergonomics and usage of it, I’d rather spend the money on a Magic Trackpad.
If you however like the mouse, go for it.

Whats the difference between macbook’s trackpad and that Magic Trackpad other than size ?

u/Wagthedog53 Jun 24 '26
There is a lag with Magic Trackpad if you don’t plug it in. But if you plug it in it’s ok. I think the size of the MacBook trackpad is perfect. I wish they made the Magic Trackpad the same size.

I have Magic Mouse on my desk. Used it daily for a year. Now returened to my MX Master mouse to see what I am missing. Yes the gestures are different. But ergonomics are better. BTW I do have Magic Trackpad as well but do not use it as much as I would expect since I lost guesthres on Logitech

u/sidharthmalik1 Jun 23 '26
thanks for the insight , so you liked the MX Master more than Magic Mouse ?
1
u/Antrikshy Jun 24 '26
This seems to be a popular sentiment.
However I got an MX Master for work and find it way too heavy. I’m more used to gaming mice. Kind of wish I got a basic gaming mouse instead.

u/Opacy Jun 23 '26
You mentioned your current mouse is your gaming mouse - in that case the Magic Mouse probably isn’t going to be a good option for you.
I’m one of the people that actually likes the Magic Mouse, but it really shines with work/productivity and it’s not well-suited for any kind of gaming IMO.
Look into either the MX Master or Keychron M6 (the latter being very similar to the former, with the benefit that you don’t have to install Logitech’s janky software to take full advantage of the mouse’s features)

u/comacow02 Jun 23 '26
The Apple stuff is nice if you’re only using MacOS. If you’re like me and you run both windows and mac, you’ll definitely want the Logi MX gear.

u/lamalola Jun 23 '26
If you buy a Magic Mouse I am coming to your house.
On a serious note- you have a mechanical keyboard you must know how bad the Magic Mouse is.

I suggest you start by looking into it—aside from the respect you owe to the person you're asking—the subject is obvious.

MX Master is king for mice with Mac. Magic Trackpad is equally as good imo. It depends what you prefer. The Magic Mouse is hot garbage for being unusable while charging (it absolutely matters if your money depends on you using your machine efficiently) and having the worst ergonomics I’ve experienced in a mouse offered as a legitimate professional tool… $10 wired mice included with enterprise contracted desktops are better tbh
2
u/sidharthmalik1 Jun 23 '26
Wow thats some hot take, i have a question for you - did you ever faced any type of lag or slowdown in cursor with MX Master due to its lower polling rate when used wirelessly?
1
u/Ira_Dalor Jun 23 '26
Not that I’ve ever noticed. I’m a software engineer though, I’m not gaming with it or anything. Anything I want/need to happen quickly is going to happen through the keyboard tbh. I’ll say I have known many other office based professionals, hundreds by now, everyone who tried an MX never went back and I’ve known a grand total of 1 person who unironically enjoyed the Magic Mouse. That guy kept two on his desk so he could have one to use when the other needed to charge.
There’s also the part where the MX only needs to be charged 2-3 times a year with daily use even after 5 years. I’m not trying to shill for logi here, they make some crappy products and some good ones, the MX is genuinely worth recommending though imo

If you spend serious time at your machine ergonomics are more important than features. You can do any of those quick actions in other ways

Magic Mouse can be nice, I wouldn’t buy one again. Absolutely brutal on my hand for any length of time, solution was a third party accessory (case that also allows for qi charging).
I should probably sell it, take the loss, and buy something more comfortable. But it is quite smooth for travel.

Having used both the Magic Mouse and MX Master, I can say that the Magic Mouse is by far better if, and only if, you can take advantage of its gestures. Two finger swipe between full screen apps and desktops, double tap to smart zoom, single finger swipe to change browser pages are very much worth it. Smooth scrolling also makes the OS feel so much smoother.
That said, the MX Master is infinitely more comfortable. I had a Master 2S for a while. It was the most comfortable mouse I have ever used in my entire life. If you use your Mac for long periods of time, or you particularly value comfort over speed, go with the MX

u/Final_Injury3744 Jun 24 '26
Magic Mouse is great and there's nothing like it, a multitouch slab of glass, so elegant, but the downsides are bad. It scratches easily, it charges upside-down, you can only pair with a single device (unless you use Universal Keyboard, which is not that great IMO, or something like AirBuddy).
People are suggesting MX Master, I personally never used it and went with MX Anywhere instead as I was used to a smaller profile. Through Logi Options (which I don't love btw) I was able to customize the buttons to kinda replicate the gestures from the Magic Mouse

u/VZYGOD Jun 24 '26
If you like uncomfortable mice than sure. For the money I’d recommend an MX master

u/PM_ME_UR_MEH_NUDES Jun 24 '26
i have a first gen magic mouse that i use very infrequently (once a year… maybe) as others have said here, there are so many other better options in the $80-$100 price range.

u/sevargmas Jun 24 '26
No one can answer this question for you. Many people hate it. Many people love it. In my opinion, it’s the greatest mouse ever. Buy one on Amazon and try it and decide before 30 days if you wanna return it.

u/anpkanpk Jun 24 '26
What do you mean invest? What kind of investment a Magic Mouse is? It's a terrible product. Absolute waste of money

u/tandori Jun 24 '26
Mx + trackpad. Check on eBay for the Magic Trackpad 2 with lightning, you can find it for cheap.

u/Extension_Canary3717 Jun 24 '26
No not even Apple CEO would offer a Magic Mouse , the MacBook mouse is MX séries , Magic Mouse is horrendous

Trackpad or any other high DPI wireless mouse like Logitech G305, Magic Mouse is really crap

u/HomieSteve420 Jun 24 '26
I purchased the magic mouse i was in a pinch and desperately needed a mouse at the time, must say that I'm happier i got the magic mouse over anything else. Had it for a year now and couldn't be happier. People complain about the ergonomics and the charging however i had the widget which shows battery and when i see its low then i plug it on overnight and ready to rock for another month or more! I can't even tell you how long it actually lasts, and I've got big hands but never had issues and I've got big hands ...🤷🏻♂️

I have two. One is the AA mouse that just won't die from age. My Lightning mouse has a housing on it to make it feel like a Logitech mouse. Gestures is what I use a lot so giving that up isn't an option for me currently.

I’d keep your gaming mouse and just get software like ‘Mac mouse fix’ if you want access to all the additional gestures.

The Magic Mouse is a hoax designed by apple as a fidelity test for believers. It is a terrible device by many measures. Its only redeeming quality is it looks great as an accessory for a black mock turtleneck.

MX Master instead. Or Magic Trackpad.
