Magic Mouse: charging port on bottom

AirPods Max: can’t turn off without putting in case, can’t use wired, condensation death

[–] hansl 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I’m ready for the downvotes but I still don’t understand the general hate for the Magic Mouse. Once every two weeks I let it charge for 30 minutes while I’m having a lunch break and never have to worry about it.

How many times do you happen to need to charge your mouse and use it at the same time?

[–] Spacecraft 2 points 1 year ago

In the same boat as you. When I did use a Magic Mouse I’d just plug it in when I got up to go to the bathroom or get a drink, and not every time either. Never had the battery run out.

I stopped using it because the ergonomics don’t fit my hand very well.

It is also ergonomically horrible, to the point where I prefer to use the magic track pad over the mouse.

Wait, the power switch is on the case? That's so stupid.

That is the very definition of form over function.

[–] Spacecraft 4 points 1 year ago

No there is no power switch. It detects when it’s in the case and turns off. I think it turns off outside the case after a period of inactivity.

Can’t be used wired out of the box but do support Lightning to 3.5mm jack. Source: owner of AirPods Max who’s had them replaced 4 times now due to faults.

mega ouch, soldier onward king

do support Lightning to 3.5mm jack

which, in true Apple style, aren't included. meanwhile, the Sony equivalents I got come with a 3.5mm cable AND an adapter for airplane audio jacks
