Manufacturer description

The Apple Magic Mouse 2 in silver brings Apple's Multi-Touch surface to your desk without the battery drawer. Instead of swapping AAs, you charge it over Lightning, and the built-in battery lets Apple flatten the shell into a single continuous piece with fewer moving parts. The result is a lighter mouse with a redesigned foot layout that glides with less resistance than the original Magic Mouse. Laser tracking handles everyday surfaces, and Bluetooth pairing happens automatically the moment you take it out of the box and connect it to a Mac. The Multi-Touch top surface is the real draw…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Amazon Renewed Apple Magic Mouse 2 Wireless using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the gaming peripherals category. Amazon Renewed's gaming peripherals lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for gaming peripherals of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a new Apple Magic Mouse 2 or a refurbished one?

It is an Amazon Renewed unit sold under the Amazon Renewed brand, meaning it was inspected and tested before resale rather than sold as new. Check the product listing for the current renewed guarantee terms.

How does the Magic Mouse 2 charge?

It has a built-in rechargeable battery instead of removable AA batteries, so you charge the mouse itself. Apple's design removed the battery door in favor of a continuous bottom shell.

Which Macs does it work with?

The listed compatibility is Mac OS X 10.5.8 and later, which covers a wide span of Mac hardware. It pairs automatically over Bluetooth when you take it out of the box.

What gestures does the Multi-Touch surface support?

The top surface reads finger gestures for scrolling through documents and swiping between web pages, and the functionality is customizable so you can map it to the actions you use most.

Is it better than the original Magic Mouse?

Apple's own description points to a lighter body, fewer moving parts, and an optimized foot design that tracks easier and moves with less resistance across a desk compared with the prior design.
