Yet another major oversight fixed with a simple design detail.įinally, the ‘Pro’ moniker is justified with the inclusion of better hardware, including a Pro Laser Eye that offers better tracking and accuracy with lower latency, and a first-ever Taptic Engine in a mouse to offer better haptic feedback while navigating your software. Sure, the position of the lightning port changes based on whether you’re using it in right or left-handed mode, but I’d argue that’s much better than having a charging port located on the underside of a mouse.Ī single dimple on the mouse also now indicates the Magic Mouse Pro’s ‘middle scroll’ button, which proves useful in web browsers, design software, and CAD/engineering programs. A more strategically located Lightning port makes charging the Magic Mouse Pro much easier, correcting a universal wrong from 8 years ago. The Magic Mouse Pro’s swiveling upper surface lets you easily flip it around to suit your needs, giving it a significant edge not just over the existing Magic Mouse, but over every ergonomic mouse too! The biggest drawback with ergonomic mice is that they’re seldom ambidextrous. The Magic Mouse Pro’s most radical feature is its ability to easily alternate between being left or right-handed. With a premium all-black exterior, ergonomic form, and better hardware, the Magic Mouse Pro brings a few significant upgrades to the mouse experience, making it a much more compelling purchase compared to its 2015 sibling. However, we designers have a hard time accepting the things we can’t change, and it’s our natural tendency to change the things we can’t accept… so behold the Magic Mouse Pro, a concept from the mind of Taiwanese designer Vincent Lin. The problems we’ve had with it haven’t changed in that time – it’s too sleek to actually be ergonomic, it doesn’t have a middle scroll button (which gamers and designers/engineers need), and its charging port is located in arguably the worst place ever. Launched in 2009 and refreshed in 2015, the Magic Mouse has seen mass acceptance (and resentment) in the 13+ years that it’s existed. The Magic Mouse may just be Apple’s oldest, most unchanged product ever. With an ambidextrous design, upgraded laser tracking, a dedicated middle-scroll button (for CAD users), and a repositioned charging port, the Magic Mouse Pro is the wireless mouse we wish Apple would just make already.
