The Magic Mouse 2 has a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts for up to a month on a single charge. To charge the mouse, simply connect the included Lightning cable to the Lightning port on the bottom of the mouse and then connect the other end of the cable to a USB port on your computer or a USB power adapter. The mouse will start charging immediately, and the LED indicator light on the bottom of the mouse will turn green when the mouse is fully charged.

If you are having trouble charging your Magic Mouse, there are a few things that you can try. First, make sure that the Lightning cable is securely connected to both the mouse and the USB port. If the cable is not connected properly, the mouse will not charge. Second, try connecting the mouse to a different USB port on your computer. Some USB ports may not provide enough power to charge the mouse. Finally, if you are still having trouble charging the mouse, you can contact Apple Support for assistance.

Connecting to a Mac or iPad

To charge your Apple Magic Mouse, you’ll need to connect it to a Mac or iPad using the Lightning to USB cable that came with your mouse. Once you’ve connected the mouse, you’ll see a lightning bolt icon in the battery status menu bar item in the top-right corner of the screen. This icon indicates that the mouse is charging.

Try using a different Lightning to USB cable.
Restart your Mac or iPad.

After trying these steps, if you still don’t see the lightning bolt icon, there may be a problem with your mouse. Contact Apple Support for further assistance.

Enabling Power Reserve Mode

Step 1: Locate the Lightning Connector

On the bottom of your Magic Mouse, you’ll find a Lightning connector. This is the port that you’ll use to charge the mouse.

Step 2: Connect the Lightning Cable

Take your Lightning cable and connect it to the Lightning connector on your Magic Mouse. The other end of the cable should be plugged into a power source, such as a USB port on your computer.

Step 3: Wait for the Indicator Light

When you connect the cable, the indicator light on your Magic Mouse will start to glow. This light will remain on while the mouse is charging.

Step 4: Check the Battery Level

You can check the battery level of your Magic Mouse by going to System Preferences on your Mac. Click on “Bluetooth” and then select your Magic Mouse. The battery level will be displayed in the “Battery” section.

Charging Your Apple Magic Mouse

To charge your Apple Magic Mouse, simply connect the Lightning cable to the bottom of the mouse and the other end to a USB port on your computer. The LED indicator light on the bottom of the mouse will turn red while it is charging, and will turn green when it is fully charged.

Tips for Extending Battery Life

1. Turn Off the Mouse When Not in Use

One of the simplest ways to extend the battery life of your Magic Mouse is to turn it off when you’re not using it. You can do this by pressing the power button on the bottom of the mouse.

2. Use a Darker Color Scheme

If you’re using your Magic Mouse with a bright color scheme, it will use more power than if you were using a darker color scheme. This is because the mouse has to work harder to track movement on a bright surface.

3. Reduce the Polling Rate

The polling rate is the frequency at which the mouse reports its position to your computer. A higher polling rate will result in smoother movement, but it will also use more power. If you’re not a gamer, you can probably get away with reducing the polling rate to save battery life.

4. Disable Force Touch

Force Touch is a feature that allows you to click with different amounts of pressure to perform different actions. If you don’t use Force Touch, you can disable it to save battery life.

5. Use a Battery Saver Mode

If you’re on a Mac, you can enable Battery Saver mode to extend the battery life of your Magic Mouse. Battery Saver mode will reduce the polling rate and disable Force Touch.

6. Replace the Batteries

If your Magic Mouse’s battery life is still too short, you may need to replace the batteries. You can purchase new batteries from Apple or from a third-party retailer.

7. Use a Charging Dock

If you find yourself charging your Magic Mouse frequently, you may want to consider purchasing a charging dock. A charging dock will allow you to charge your mouse without having to connect it to your computer.

Feature	Battery Life
Battery saver mode	Up to 2 months
Lightning cable	Up to 1 month
Charging dock	Unlimited

Cleaning the Magic Mouse

To keep your Magic Mouse clean and functioning properly, follow these steps:

Unplug the Magic Mouse from your computer.
Wipe down the Magic Mouse with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Use a cotton swab or soft brush to gently remove any debris from the scroll wheel and laser sensor.
If the Magic Mouse is heavily soiled, you can use a mild soap solution to clean it. Be sure to rinse the Magic Mouse thoroughly with water and dry it completely before using it again.
Do not submerge the Magic Mouse in water or other liquids.
Do not use compressed air to clean the Magic Mouse, as this can damage the internal components.
After cleaning the Magic Mouse, allow it to dry completely before using it again.
To prevent dirt and debris from accumulating on the Magic Mouse, use it on a clean surface and store it in a protective case when not in use.

Charging the Magic Mouse

The Magic Mouse can be charged using a Lightning to USB cable. To charge the Magic Mouse, follow these steps:

Connect the Lightning end of the cable to the Magic Mouse.
Connect the USB end of the cable to a USB port on your computer or a USB power adapter.
The Magic Mouse will begin charging immediately. A red LED will illuminate on the bottom of the Magic Mouse while it is charging.
When the Magic Mouse is fully charged, the LED will turn green.
