Apple has listed the Magic Mouse at $79 since launch and has not moved that price by a single dollar. Amazon just dropped it to $59, off its $79 list price and at its record low on Amazon, at nearly zero margin. This is a Prime Early Deal so membership is required, and with Prime Day running June 23 to 26 this is the window to act.
Multi-Touch surface, USB-C, one month battery, automatic Mac pairing
The Magic Mouse is the only mouse that brings the full Multi-Touch gesture vocabulary of a MacBook trackpad to a desktop setup. Swiping between full-screen apps, scrolling through documents, and navigating Safari with swipe-back and swipe-forward all work directly on the mouse’s surface without clicking or switching tools. For anyone who has built a workflow around macOS gestures on a laptop and then sits down at a desktop Mac, the Magic Mouse is the only way to maintain that continuity without reverting to a traditional scroll wheel and button setup that ignores everything macOS does well.
The newest Magic Mouse ships with USB-C rather than Lightning, which removes the absurdity of the previous generation where the charging port was on the bottom and rendered the mouse unusable during charging. The included woven USB-C cable handles both pairing and charging, and a full charge powers the mouse for about a month of typical use. The optimized foot design glides smoothly across most desk surfaces without a mouse pad, and the low-profile form factor keeps the wrist at a natural angle during extended sessions.
Automatic pairing with a Mac requires no Bluetooth setup: connect the USB-C cable to a Mac port and the mouse pairs instantly, then switches to wireless for everyday use. The optical tracking handles standard desk surfaces reliably, and the wireless range covers the typical distance between a desk and a monitor without dropout.
The 4.5-star average across nearly 2,900 reviews and over 10,000 units sold last month reflect a peripheral that has been the default Mac mouse recommendation for years, not because it lacks alternatives but because nothing else replicates the gesture integration with macOS that Apple built specifically for this surface. At $59 for Prime members at its record low, this is the lowest the Magic Mouse has ever sold for on Amazon, on a product Apple has never discounted directly.
Third-party mice work with Macs, and some of them are excellent. But none of them support the swipe gestures that macOS is built around, and for a Mac user who spends time in multiple spaces, Safari, and Mission Control, that gap is the difference between a mouse that works with the operating system and one that works alongside it. At $59 the Magic Mouse has never been easier to justify.
