Verdict

The Apple Magic Mouse 2 is a lightweight, wireless peripheral weighing 99g with dimensions of 2.16 x 5.71 x 11.35 cm. It features a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides over a month of use per charge and a unique Multi-Touch surface that supports gestures like 360° scrolling and multi-finger swiping. Main pros include its seamless automatic pairing with macOS, a sleek ambidextrous design, and highly responsive touch controls that bridge the gap between a mouse and a trackpad. However, notable cons include poor ergonomics due to its shallow, flat profile which can cause hand fatigue, and the inconvenient placement of the Lightning charging port on the bottom, rendering the device unusable while charging.
