How Can A Magic Mouse Be Connected To A Mac?

The Magic Keyboard, Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad work wirelessly via Bluetooth when turned on and paired with your Mac. If the device came in the box of your new Mac, it should already be paired with that Mac. To connect your Magic Mouse or Magic Mouse 2 to Mac Computers, follow these steps:

1. Click the Bluetooth icon in the upper-right corner of the screen and select Bluetooth Preferences.
2. On your Mac, click the Apple icon.
3. Connect the Magic Mouse anywhere within range of your computer. When you need to charge the mouse or pair it again, connect it to your iMac using a USB-C cable.

This guide covers how to connect a Mac mouse to any Mac, including the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and the Magic Mouse. To connect the mouse to a Mac, turn on your mouse, either by pressing a button or by plugging the Lightning end of the cable into the Lightning port on the bottom of your mouse and the USB end into a USB port on your Mac. Slide the on/off switch to on, and your mouse will pair automatically with your Mac.

To connect the Magic Mouse 2, simply plug it in by connecting the Magic Mouse to your Mac using a USB-C to Lightning Cable or USB-C to USB cable. For the Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad, the devices can be force-paired by connecting the included lightning cable to the device.

After pairing the Magic Mouse, double-click the Bluetooth icon in the Windows taskbar.
