Magic Mouse

Precisely when I started my iMac a little while ago, I got the warning that my Magic Mouse has a low battery. And I just enter Twitter and I have come across this news. So it was a divine sign, which I share with all of you.

A very crafty engineer has just posted on his Twitter account a video of how he has modified his Magic Mouse to charge the battery properly Wireless. I am very reluctant for it, so I am thinking of asking you to tune one for me. Paying, of course.

When I started my iMac a while ago to start a work session, I got the warning that my Magic Mouse has the low battery. If Apple's mouse design were a little more logical and rational, and had the connector on the top of the device, I would now be loading the mouse and working with it as if it were a wired Magic Mouse.

But no. It turns out that the connector lightning It is on the back of the mouse, preventing its use while charging. What a shit, sorry. So now I have to pray that the battery that remains available will last me while I write these lines.

If by chance I finish this work session and I forget to load it, when I go back to work I will curse and curse myself sitting in front of the iMac looking at the Magic Mouse….

I suppose a clever engineer tired of this problem, has disassembled his Magic Mouse and added a coil wireless charging inside. He shows it in a video posted on his account Twitter. Hope someone from Apple sees it and gets the idea.

I can understand that physically due to the curvature of the device it is difficult to accommodate a Lightning connector on the top of the mouse. But these days, they have already had enough time to modify the Magic Mouse and place the charging connector on it. lateral left or right, so you can use it in an emergency with a dead battery. We will wait for the new iMac, to see what mouse they bring ...

    We'll see ….
    That the charging port of the Magic Mouse 2 is not in the best place is true. It is so as not to break aesthetics.
    Now: three minutes of charging give for hours.
    Let's not be exaggerated.

    That was already invented by others more than 10 years ago. I have 2 working perfectly since then, wonderful and elegant indeed.

    It seems incredible that Apple still walks with these cables and these "closed" products.
