Who are these people?
Yesterday, I did a review of the Apple Magic Mouse and in the review, I noted that the device is not natively able to be used with a Windows PC. Though this is true, there is a known workaround out there to help you get the Magic Mouse to effectively work on a PC. Powerpc for mac os x. Apple Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2, Magic Trackpad 2. Redesigned to be fully rechargeable and even more of a joy to use.
Is someone paying irrational, cantankerous antagonists to write one-star reviews? Anything they don't love is automatically 'the worst thing ever!' All of these Is someone paying irrational, cantankerous antagonists to write one-star reviews? Anything they don't love is automatically 'the worst thing ever!' All of these extremely low reviews are incredible.. as in 'not even remotely credible.' This mouse looks and feels like the last one - only a little lighter. Ergonomics, weight, appearance, functionality.. all great things, and all much better than your average third-party product. The mouse plugs in to charge.. and this is somehow horrible? Upside-down is a bit weird and you don't use it while it is charging. How does that make this a one-star product? Don't you ever sleep? Can't you remember to plug your mouse in overnight once a month? This is way better than having to change the batteries every two weeks. Do you gripe about your phone because you have to put it down once in a while to charge it? So it doesn't work with some of the older system software? Well in most cases, neither should you. How does that make this product abysmal? Your wrist hurts? That is not the mouse's fault. Operator error does not make a product atrocious any more than a drunk driver makes a a particular brand of car a hazard to drive. This mouse is a great product. An improvement over the already-good last version. Would I prefer a third party mouse over this one? No thanks. I'll give my five stars right here without apology.
This feature is not available right now. Please try again later. I have been using an Apple Magic Mouse '1' for quite some time now on my Windows 10 PC and I was very content except the damn batteries that needed replacing every once in a while. So I bought an Apple Magic Mouse 2. Shouldn't be that difficult, right? Disconnect the '1', connect the '2' and go! The mouse works fine except it doesn't scroll.
