Apple Mouse Flaw: Charge Port Still Hidden!
13 Feb
Summary
- Apple's USB-C Magic Mouse is on sale at $68.
- The charge port remains on the underside, unusable while charging.
- The mouse was first released in 2009, with a USB-C update in 2024.
Apple has put its USB-C Magic Mouse on sale, reducing the price from $79 to $68, a saving of 14 percent. This accessory, which first debuted in 2009 and received a minor update in 2015 before the 2024 addition of a USB-C port, is known for its multi-touch gesture controls and seamless pairing with Macs when connected via USB. It also offers Bluetooth connectivity for iPads.
A significant design quirk, however, continues to limit its usability: the charging port is located on the underside of the mouse. This placement renders the device unusable while it is connected to a power source for charging, a peculiar feature that has persisted despite rumors of a redesign. The mouse can also connect to Windows PCs, though with restricted functionality.
