I had been vary of purchasing it initially because I saw it with a colleagues and also the Apple Store and was concerned the flat nature of the mouse might not be very ergonomic. It probably still isn&#8217;t, but the past few months I had been using a Surface Mobile mouse (review from Windows Central <a href=\"https:\/\/www.windowscentral.com\/surface-mobile-mouse-review\">here<\/a>) and if my hand could get used to its flat nature I figured the Magic Mouse 2 might not be too bad. Plus with the Magic Mouse 2 I&#8217;ll get all the gestures so it&#8217;s way more useful too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Very brief thoughts, after a few hours of use<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I like it so far. A nice minimal design. I thought the lack of buttons might be a problem (especially, I had read somewhere that the right click is a regular click on the right side and some people found that odd) &#8211; but not for me.<\/li>\n<li>The mouse is heavy. Which is good. This was unexpected.<\/li>\n<li>The two finger gestures are a tad difficult because the mouse itself moves when you do these, so you have to kind of hold the mouse and do the two finger gesture. Just a matter of practice I guess. Something like these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elevationlab.com\/products\/magicgrips-for-magic-mouse\">MagicGrips<\/a> might help there but I am not keen on sticking stuff to the mouse.<\/li>\n<li>Yeah, it is funny that you have to charge the mouse by sticking a cable to the bottom. Very weird that the mouse lies on its side while you charge. Ugly. :)<\/li>\n<li>The entirety of the mouse body is a touch surface, which is cool. You can swipe or click anywhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background: I purchased the Magic Mouse 2 today.
