The Magic Mouse 2 is a pointing device that was designed, manufactured, and currently sold by Apple since 2015 as part of the Apple Mouse series. The Mouse has been introduced on October 13, 2015, alongside new iMacs, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad 2.
The mouse is compatible with every Mac running OS X 10.11 El Capitan and higher, and the iPad running on iPadOS 13.4 or higher.
Since its release, Mouse is included alongside Magic Keyboard with the 2015+ generation of iMacs. It could also be purchased separately for $79 in two color versions; Silver and Space Gray, but from May 15, 2021, Magic Mouse 2 in Space Gray color was available until stock lasts.
The mouse features a lithium-ion rechargeable battery and Lightning connector for charging and pairing. Unlike other similar models, the Magic Mouse 2 has its charging connector on the bottom, and thus cannot be used during recharging. The mouse uses an ST Microelectronics STM32F103VB 72 MHz 32-bit RISC ARM Cortex-M3 processor and includes the Broadcom BCM20733 Enhanced Data Rate Bluetooth 3.0.
On April 20, 2021, Apple announced an all-new iMac in 7 colors bundled with color matching Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad. The new colors are Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow, Orange, and Purple.
On March 8, 2022, has been introduced new color of Magic Mouse 2 in the Silver & Black option alongside the new Mac Studio and Studio Display. The new colored mouse can be purchased separately for $99.
Today Magic Mouse 2 is 7 years old!
