Description
This is the Apple Magic Mouse 2 (Model A1657), the rechargeable wireless mouse introduced in 2015.
It features a low-profile aluminum design and a Multi-Touch surface that supports macOS gesture controls.
Unlike the original Magic Mouse that used AA batteries, Magic Mouse 2 includes a built-in rechargeable battery and charges via a Lightning cable.
It connects to your Mac using Bluetooth for a clean, cable-free setup.
The Multi-Touch surface supports gestures such as scrolling, swiping between pages and navigating through documents.
Gesture functionality depends on macOS settings and system compatibility.
Verify the model number printed on the underside to confirm A1657.
This distinguishes it from the original battery-powered Magic Mouse and the newer USB-C refresh generation.
