Magic Mouse

Uh, yeah, kinda looks like a big...

You're right, it looks like a Magic Mouse or whatever.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like a big Magic Mouse.

[laughs]

Yeah.

There's that MKBHD video, right, which is an absolute PR

disaster, right, where we're talking about the Magic Mouse.

Like, it was just...

They must have regretted that so much.

Do you remember that interview he did with Marques Brownlee and he talked about the...

They talked about the Magic Mouse.

And I think Marques thought they'd kind of got him on something there by saying, ha, the Magic Mouse.

What did you think of that? And, you know, Tim did this whole PR spiel about, you know, how great the Magic Mouse was, which we all know it wasn't.

Are we

talking about the Magic Mouse? I'm filling the hour up.

I'm

trying to get us into the 10th minute at least so we can have something to talk about.

I'm hoping to replace that soon.

AirPods 3, a Kindle, Magic Mouse and keyboard, and a Fitbit Charge 6.

So Uncle Kevin, what is your EDC?

Yeah, I like your kit there, your everyday carry stuff if you're going to go to a shop and do some work.

Trying to navigate with just the mouse is doable, but it's really challenging.

And when you're playing on Mac and using the Apple Magic Mouse, it's pretty much impossible to do i cannot figure out how you're supposed to do sort of the stuff you're supposed to use a scroll wheel for you know most mice can use a scroll wheel to do stuff apple magic mouse doesn't have a scroll wheel therefore half the controls just don't work so i've been using the keyboard to basically move around my museum and to turn things around me trying to play some stuff so i basically couldn't play that game without a keyboard um i imagine it's probably been well thought out on the switch too but have you figured out whether it's got mouse controls on yet

it wasn't at launch but they did add it But I guess that's also the other challenge of using, like, the Joy-Con as a mouse.

It's like, if you're using all of those other face buttons, it's then you're kind of in an interesting position.

Yep.

[smacks lips] Man, failures? I, I would say just, like, allowing the designers to dictate, um, the functionality of a product is just pretty [beep] stupid, how you end up with things like the Magic Mouse charging port on the bottom that everyone knows is just completely [beep] stupid, and they just don't, they just never fix.

Um, yeah, trash can was brutal.

Butterfly keyboards were pretty brutal.

Okay, so as you know, we can enable Bluetooth and have multiple keyboards and mice connected to our device at once.

So as you can see, I'm paired with an Apple Magic Mouse and wireless keyboard.

So you've seen this in previous videos, but it's just to show the new people that indeed you can have multiple devices connected via Bluetooth at the same time.

Here is an on-the-go adapter from micro USB to USB.

network interface your Mac has.

However, one of the main things that prevented some users from using Magic Handoff was, let's say you have your personal Mac and then you have a company Mac and you want to use the same Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard between them.

So in the morning, you connect them to your company Mac and in the afternoon or evening, you connect it to your personal Mac.

There was a problem because many corporate devices have limitations on local network access and specifically peer-to-peer local network access.
