      i bought one and ended up going back to my magic mouse. i use mostly magic mice, but i did finally figure out why i have such a strange mouse preference. it’s the weight. so i bought a really lightweight razer mouse, and i enjoy using that.

      it also charges on the bottom!

        Agreed. I don’t like the magic mouses size, but the weight + multitasking gestures makes it the one I put in my laptop bag for use on the go.

    First they pioneered USB-C-charging for phones, and now they invent USB-C-charging for peripherals! Mind blown, truly visionary stuff from Apple.

    Here’s a hot take: The magic mouse is actually really nice. I worked in a lab with new iMacs and magic mice, and the gestures just felt great. If it wasn’t a part of such a closed ecosystem, I would have one myself.

    Thanks to EU regulations the keyboard is limited to 20gbps data rates instead of the 40gbps that it would be doing over Thunderbolt. I hope your happy now that apple users suffer peasant speeds.

      ? Thunderbolt is just a fancier usb-c, you can use a usb-c cable with a thunderbolt port and vice-versa. So using thunderbolt is allowed by that law.

      Also apple used lightning before, not thunderbolt.

      ??? AFAIK the keyboard doesn’t actually transfer any data over cable, it’s all wireless.
