It\u2019s like a little boot with a Lightning adapter tongue that plugs right into your Magic Mouse\u2019s underbelly. Best of all, it\u2019s magnetic, making it perfect for use with a MagSafe puck. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Does this thing totally ruin the sleek Apple aesthetic? Absolutely! And I\u2019m not even remotely convinced by its cheap-feeling plastic that it will last longer than a few months before it just stops working. Yet, somehow, it\u2019s exactly what the Magic Mouse needs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">What it\u2019s called doesn\u2019t really matter, because this isn\u2019t a product any company you\u2019ve ever heard of makes \u2014 instead, it showed up on Amazon, seemingly around August or so, under several different company names. Mine is branded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/TATOFY-Wireless-Charging-Support-Ergonomic\/dp\/B0CLGHK9Y6\/?tag=theverge02-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tatofy<\/a>, but you can find it under brand names like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Accessories-Ergonomic-2\u3010Storage-Included\u3011-Control-White\/dp\/B0C7CHNP8Z?tag=theverge02-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zeehoo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ergonomic-Charging-Generation-Increased-Accessories\/dp\/B0C73DPWNR?tag=theverge02-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bluerin<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ergonomic-Wireless-Charging-Base-stents\/dp\/B0CNP7Y3T1?tag=theverge02-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Superyofo<\/a>. They\u2019re all like 30 bucks, and they\u2019re almost certainly all exactly the same product. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>This fix for the Magic Mouse 2 is practical, not pretty.<\/em><\/figcaption><cite class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline not-italic text-gray-63 dark:text-gray-bd [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray\">Image: Wes Davis \/ The Verge<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The housing\u2019s grip isn\u2019t perfect. Wireless charging can be iffy sometimes, and the magnet is very weak, so it\u2019ll slip right off of a MagSafe stand. And where the bottom part of it meets the top, there\u2019s a giant seam that loves to collect crud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">But those complaints are so minor. In fact, I\u2019ve found myself using my Magic Mouse at least as often as my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/circuitbreaker\/2019\/10\/29\/20937114\/logitech-mx-master-3-mouse-wheel-hardware-scroll-button\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Logitech MX Master 3<\/a> over the last month. And plunking it onto a nearby MagSafe puck when I\u2019m done with it is a much nicer experience than digging out a Lightning cable every time it dies. But boy is it silly that it\u2019s come to this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">When the Magic Mouse came out, I was genuinely enamored with the multitouch surface that did all these different things using swipes and taps. This single, curved sheet of clear plastic that could do so much felt like the future, especially next to the Magic Trackpad, which is still the best trackpad in the tech world. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>The Tatofy grip without the Magic Mouse.<\/em><\/figcaption><cite class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline not-italic text-gray-63 dark:text-gray-bd [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray\">Image: Wes Davis \/ The Verge<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">But in practice, it\u2019s just so very awkward. The mouse is low and flat, and I\u2019ve never found a comfortable way to hold it during use \u2014 do I lay my hand on it like a big, fleshy blanket? Hold it on either side with my fingertips? I do the latter, even though my hand ends up cramping as a result sometimes. And flipping the Magic Mouse over to charge has always felt silly, even if it\u2019s ultimately not that inconvenient. As more devices adopt wireless charging or USB-C, it\u2019s a minor annoyance having to keep a Lightning cable nearby. This grip fixes both of those problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>Magnetic charging is the way forward.<\/em><\/figcaption><cite class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline not-italic text-gray-63 dark:text-gray-bd [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray\">Image: Wes Davis \/ The Verge<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Still, I think this goofy shoe I\u2019ve put on my mouse might be more band-aid than a full fix. Yeah, it\u2019s way more comfortable, to me, than using the Magic Mouse on its own, but its very existence is almost an affront to decency after 15 years of virtually the same mouse \u2014 surely by now, Apple could have come up with something more practical. And yet, here is my Magic Mouse, just hanging out in a shoe, somehow both better and worse than it ever was.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/1\/21\/24045324\/apple-magic-mouse-wireless-charging-lightning-base\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past Christmas, there was a box in my stocking that held something I had half-jokingly added to my wishlist: an \u201cergonomic\u201d grip that raises, widens, and adds wireless charging to Apple\u2019s Magic Mouse 2.
