Mac gaming is going from weakness to strength, but the Magic Mouse is holding it back. Apple needs to redesign it to make it better for comfort and performance.
For the first time in years, I’m genuinely excited about the Mac’s gaming prospects. This year looks set to be a great one for Mac gamers, with hardware and software finally aligning to bring a bounty of great games and blistering performance in every area.
Related The reason for the disparity is clearly the different use cases. The Magic Mouse is built for productivity and general use while gaming mouse are intended for, well, gaming. Apple’s device has a flat surface so that you can use it for gestures, something almost no other mouse offers. In other words, it’s a gaming dud. And that might have been fine in years gone by because — let’s be honest here — Apple didn’t give a fig about gaming. Now, though, the company has been vocal about how its devices are gaming powerhouses, and with the arrival of the M3 generation of chips and huge titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 making their way onto the Mac, that’s starting to ring true.
Apple could fix this by bringing out a better Magic Mouse that’s more ergonomic and better-suited to games, even if indirectly so. What do I mean by that? Well, it’s no secret that the Magic Mouse’s low profile can get very uncomfortable over extended usage. It offers no support to your hand or your wrist, and I know at least one person who found it so painful that they had to switch to an upright ergonomic mouse to alleviate the discomfort.
