The "don't rest your wrist in the mouse, rest it on the desk" is the best advice on how to use it.

Finally, someone explaining how to hold and use it. Thanks. I started using one today, and it was driving me insane! Even more so, coming from an MX Master 3...

Props for this video. I've heard a few people complaining about the ergonomics of it, and generally they don't understand that it is a different input device that is held differently.

If it’s uncomfortable they’re likely not using it right. I always found it shockingly comfortable and I have large hands/long arms. The hate on the charging port is sad too (charge it once a month or plug it in, take a 2 min break and it’s ready for 9 more hours before you fully charge). As you said, key is resting your palm on the desk and essentially use your finger tips to use the mouse. It feels like resting your hand on a table the same way you would if the mouse wasn’t there. I never get any discomfort, the weight and feel is so airy and easy to maneuver. When I use an ergonomic mouse it feels like it’s smothering my whole hand, it’s heavier and not uncomfortable but awkward by comparison.

This was REALLY helpful. I was about to give up on it. Thanks.

It seems not, but it is one of the mice with the best ergonomic considerations. And for me, an important aspect is that it does not make a bulge in the backpack, it fits in any pocket. I placed a piece of contact paper on top of it and the scrolling is much smoother to the touch.

Thank you for this! I've been trying to decide if I want one or not and this video definitely helped!

im 100% sure thats exactly what apple designers intended designing this thing. its supposed to be easy and feathery, I agree with you and cant understand why people need to desperately clutch to stuff to feel in control (yes - psychological philosphy intended)

Just video I was looking for. Cheers from San Diego

Thank you for the info. Two weeks starting now.

I just got one and I'm loving it!

Good tutorial overall but inaccurate, it DOES hurt your fingers by keeping them up like that. I have been using the magic mouse for over 2 years now and i am experiencing hand pains on a regular basis and it is because of my fingers being constantly up like that... Be careful people

Better touch tools is something that really maximizes the magic mouse. :D

I was really sceptic about the MM2 coming from a MX Master 3, it really amazed me how well it works if you know how to hold it. (Yes, it’s the old conundrum “you’re holding it wrong 😉)

I really think Apple needs better instructions for this. As you say, it shouldn't be seen as a normal mouse but the problem is 99% of people have only ever used a regular mouse. So it's just not intuitive to switch over to this.

5 minutes explaining how to hold your mouse but nothing about using it!

Thanks for this

I've tried to us mine for graphic design but i have failed. Went back to my default laptop touchpad

Looks like a good fingertip mouse to me.

Steve Jobs believed that touch screens wanted to be held horizontally and not vertically, it makes sense through that perspective.

The left click button is so hard, and hurt the figure after a full day work XD

If only it could tap to click, I am used to the settings for tap with one figner on touch-pad.

the apple mouse is extremely uncomfortable. am going back to my razer mouse

It wasn’t for me. Took it back!

I use the right click feature on my stock apple mouse all the time. I've tried right clicking with this mouse, and it simply does nothing. Evidently this mouse is not made for more complex operations like opening a choice menu for step operations. This tutorial says nothing about more complex mouse operations.

it's rubbish, kills your hands. my friend had to see a doctor after several weeks of using it and now she's going through some treatments. a mouse isn't suppose to give such discomfort. plus - a waste of money for sure. don't buy

It's a brilliant mouse, both my MacBook PRO machines have them. Beats a normal mouse hands down.

it is mousses.. not mice lol

The cursor is slow, that's the whole purpose of a mouse. If its not broken, don't fix it. To me, this is apple trying to be different for the sake of being different and failing MISERABLY. It is absolute rubbish 🗑

Wrists should never be on a surface while typing or mousing. Will cause major strain.
