In a report on Sunday morning<\/a> by Bloomberg<\/em>, Apple is said to be prototyping new versions of the Magic Mouse internally. On the top of the list of changes, is a relocation of the charging port, and perhaps new ergonomics, but that point isn’t clear.<\/p>

It’s not clear when a new design will arrive. The report says to not expect anything for at least a year, and maybe not for 18 months.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

While no specific design details about the next Magic Mouse were shared, perhaps Apple will take some inspiration from popular alternatives for the Mac, like Logitech’s excellent MX Master 3S. That mouse features an ergonomic design with a thumb rest, a front-facing USB-C charging port, precision tracking, two scroll wheels, and more.<\/p>

The overall look of the Magic Mouse has not changed much since 2009, so a redesign has been a long time coming. Notable changes over the years include the mouse switching from AA batteries to a built-in rechargeable battery in 2015, new color-matching options with the iMac in 2021, and the switch from Lightning to USB-C this year. Overall, the Magic Mouse has not received much attention from Apple over the past decade.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Christian Selig<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I really wish Apple would license out the cool Magic Mouse “gesture surface” tech to third-party mouse companies like Logitech. Apple’s never going to make a mouse as ergonomic as like, an MX Vertical, which is fine, but I really want that smooth scrolling!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
