Moving To Mac - Part 1 - Using the Magic Mouse

A tutorial on how to hold and correctly use the Magic Mouse 2. How the heck do people use this thing without scrolling everywhere and driving themselves insane?

In this video, I describe how it differs from every other mouse and the best way to hold the mouse for comfort, accuracy and control. It takes a few days or weeks to get used to but once you do, it becomes second nature.

Props for this video. I've heard a few people complaining about the ergonomics of it, and generally they don't understand that it is a different input device that is held differently.

Finally, someone explaining how to hold and use it. Thanks. I started using one today, and it was driving me insane! Even more so, coming from an MX Master 3...

The "don't rest your wrist in the mouse, rest it on the desk" is the best advice on how to use it.

[hearnoevil]

If it’s uncomfortable they’re likely not using it right. I always found it shockingly comfortable and I have large hands/long arms. The hate on the charging port is sad too (charge it once a month or plug it in, take a 2 min break and it’s ready for 9 more hours before you fully charge). As you said, key is resting your palm on the desk and essentially use your finger tips to use the mouse. It feels like resting your hand on a table the same way you would if the mouse wasn’t there. I never get any discomfort, the weight and feel is so airy and easy to maneuver. When I use an ergonomic mouse it feels like it’s smothering my whole hand, it’s heavier and not uncomfortable but awkward by comparison.

Finally a video that makes sense of the madness of an Apple mouse! Not being able to use the right click was driving me nuts! Now I know, I was doing it wrong! Thanks for this wonderful video. Apple should link it with their mouse documentation.

[JessikahElise]

Thank you for this! I've been trying to decide if I want one or not and this video definitely helped!

[KevinWilliams-xcpu]

This was REALLY helpful. I was about to give up on it. Thanks.

[Goldmary]

how do you scroll down though? I am still not able to figure that out..

[peter_shadow]

It seems not, but it is one of the mice with the best ergonomic considerations. And for me, an important aspect is that it does not make a bulge in the backpack, it fits in any pocket. I placed a piece of contact paper on top of it and the scrolling is much smoother to the touch.

I was really sceptic about the MM2 coming from a MX Master 3, it really amazed me how well it works if you know how to hold it. (Yes, it’s the old conundrum “you’re holding it wrong 😉)

Just video I was looking for.

I've tried to us mine for graphic design but i have failed. Went back to my default laptop touchpad

[louisefleming]

I just got one and I'm loving it!

[Wallyandcoco]

Thank you for the info. Two weeks starting now.

[squirebullet]

Good tutorial overall but inaccurate, it DOES hurt your fingers by keeping them up like that. I have been using the magic mouse for over 2 years now and i am experiencing hand pains on a regular basis and it is because of my fingers being constantly up like that... Be careful people

[CayceDy]

Better touch tools is something that really maximizes the magic mouse. :D

[aceofburninghearts]

im 100% sure thats exactly what apple designers intended designing this thing. its supposed to be easy and feathery, I agree with you and cant understand why people need to desperately clutch to stuff to feel in control (yes - psychological philosphy intended)

[RH-nkeo]

I really think Apple needs better instructions for this. As you say, it shouldn't be seen as a normal mouse but the problem is 99% of people have only ever used a regular mouse. So it's just not intuitive to switch over to this.

[APESTOGETTER]

Looks like a good fingertip mouse to me.

[cyper]

If only it could tap to click, I am used to the settings for tap with one figner on touch-pad.
