Why Do We Have to Charge the Magic Mouse by Turning It Upside Down?

Users can also turn the Magic Mouse upside down and use it to charge it. has to wait for it to charge. In other words, Magic Mouse cannot be used while charging like other Apple products.

Alright The reason why Apple chose such a design path why?

The first prediction regarding this is aesthetic concerns.

Many people believe that Apple is using the Magic Mouse for users. deliberately not to use it while charging. thinks what he wants. Because always using the Magic Mouse plugged into a cable will break the magic in terms of display.

A minimalist and stylish device Designed as Magic Mouse, charging from the bottom helps preserve this aesthetic.

According to Apple, a mouse that charges from the bottom will be free of visible charging ports and cables, meaning a much more seamless image.

Also charging Magic Mouse from underneath, It allows it to remain stable and balanced during charging. If the mouse is charged from the top or sides, it may become unstable and topple over, causing various damage.

However Considering that things work the other way around on the Magic Keyboard.all this may not make much sense.

Additionally, previous generation Magic accessories used double AA batteries.

While the battery port was at the top for the keyboard, it was at the bottom for the mouse. This battery arrangement was not actually a problem at that time because these could be replaced and accessories could be used again immediately.

But Apple when switching to rechargeable batteries faced a problem. This problem was not with the keyboard because the location of the battery was already the most suitable place for the charging port.

So why didn’t Apple redesign the Magic Mouse and move the charging port to a more convenient location?

Actually the answer to this question is Apple probably doesn’t see this as a problem. Because 2 minutes of charging gives Magic Mouse 9 hours of usage time. This means that users can use their mouse all day long by charging it during a short toilet break.

However, although it is not considered a problem for Apple, the fact that the Magic Mouse has to be charged by turning it upside down and thus cannot be used while charging Users are very uncomfortable with this situation.

Although users know that Apple is pursuing minimalist and elegance, of course also takes into account ease of use and shapes his ideas on products accordingly.

It’s also why we argue that Apple doesn’t see this as a problem. Magic Mouse 2 introduced with only color changes is our encounter. In other words, Apple has not made any changes to the charging port location of the Magic Mouse.
