Apple would be working on a new Magic Mouse: complete redesign and new charging point

The Magic Mouse is a fundamental piece in Apple’s ecosystem. After an update to a USB-C port, it seems that Apple might be working on a complete redesign of the Magic Mouse that could address one of the most recurring complaints. With this move, Apple would be looking to take its iconic mouse to the next level, improving both its ergonomics and functionality.

A design that could be better suited for prolonged use

One of the most questioned aspects of the Magic Mouse over the years is its ergonomics. Although its design is extremely sleek and comfortable for many, prolonged use can be uncomfortable for others due to its low profile. According to Mark Gurman, Apple is considering designs that improve the fit of the device in the hand, aiming to make it more comfortable.

This redesign also aligns with the idea of creating a more modern Magic Mouse, designed for the ways we currently interact with our devices. It is not, therefore, just an aesthetic change, but a complete redesign.

A change at the charging point, finally?

While the location of the current charging port, at the bottom, can be understood as a statement that this is not a mouse to be used with a cable, the situation has not always been to the liking of all users.

The need to flip the mouse to plug it in interrupts the workflow, even if only for a few minutes each month. For those who are not clear about its current location, it seems that Apple might be planning a solution that allows charging the device without having to stop using it.

Although Gurman does not provide exact details about what this new charging system will be like, we can imagine something inspired by magnetic charging bases and that uses MagSafe technology or a side location for the USB-C port.

With a launch expected in 2026, everything indicates that this Magic Mouse will be one of the surprises of the new MacBook Pro with an OLED screen. We will have to wait to see it in action, but it is clear that Apple pays attention even to the smallest details of its catalog.
