How Does the Apple Magic Mouse Work?

Similarly one may ask, is the Apple Magic Mouse worth it?

What's new isn't obvious. The exterior design of the Magic Mouse 2 is almost the same as the Magic Mouse. Apple has said that the Magic Mouse 2 (along with the Magic Trackpad 2 and the Magic Keyboard) are fast-charging devices; the mouse can get nine hours' worth of battery life in about two minutes.

Subsequently, question is, does the Magic Mouse 2 light up when charging? DetroitBORG demonstrates the new plug-and-pair feature in the video. And while Magic Mouse 2 is said to charge up for 9 hours of use in about 2 minutes and about a month's worth of use in just a couple hours, the Lightning port's placement on the bottom does rule out using Magic Mouse 2 at all while charging.

What is the difference between Apple Magic Mouse 1 and 2?

The usage for both mice are about the same. However, for feel and usability, the Magic Mouse 2 has smoother rails on the bottom and, thus, glides a bit better than the Magic Mouse 1… at least when it's new. I find that rails typically wear out after some time. The Magic Mouse 2 is slightly lighter.
