Apple has announced updated versions of the Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad that are now equipped with USB-C charging ports.
Unfortunately, these peripherals are still only able to pair with one Mac at a time and cannot switch between Macs in software.
The charging port on the Magic Mouse remains on its belly, meaning it cannot be used while it charges.
Apple sees the inability to use the Magic Mouse while plugged in as a feature, not a bug, encouraging users to utilize it wirelessly.
Although a low-battery notification system is available, users report they are not effective and show up late, if at all.
There is no fundamental iteration on the USB-C Magic Mouse design, which has remained unchanged for over 16 years.
The USB-C Magic Keyboard is available, and a Lightning version of the Magic Keyboard with a Numeric Keypad is part of Apple's product line.
Many users would like to see more developments for the Magic Mouse, such as haptics, Qi charging support, or customization of low-battery notifications.
Apple's decision to continue to position the charging port on the underside of the Magic Mouse has been noted as ridiculous despite the trade-offs of charging wirelessly.
There is still a Lightning version of the Magic Keyboard available, which lacks a Touch ID button.
