Redesigned Magic Mouse With Touch and Voice Controls Reportedly Coming in 2026

A completely redesigned version of the Magic Mouse featuring touch and voice controls is coming in 2026, a Korean leaker claims.

Magic Mouse Next to Keyboard
Expanding on a recent report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the Korean Apple news aggregator known as "yeux1122" says that Apple's next-generation Magic Mouse will feature a new, more ergonomic design that addresses long-standing complaints, including the location of the charging port.

While the Magic Mouse switched from Lightning to USB-C a few months ago, the charging port is still located on the bottom of the mouse, which prevents it from being used while charging. This is only a minor inconvenience, as charging the mouse is a quick and infrequent process, but it sounds like Apple will finally relocate the port in the accessory's next incarnation.

Apple has apparently designed a prototype of the new mouse that incorporates a mixture of touch, voice controls, and hand gestures, making it more suitable for today's computing demands. It reportedly plans to release the new Magic Mouse alongside the OLED, "M6" MacBook Pro in 2026.

The overall look of the Magic Mouse has not changed much since 2009, so a redesign seems to be long overdue. Notable changes over the years include switching from AA batteries to a built-in rechargeable battery in 2015, new color-matching options with the iMac in 2021, and the switch from Lightning to USB-C earlier this year.

So it will double as a mic?

Honestly it's not a bad idea if they expect this mouse to be used for presentations and the like.
Computer.... Computer?

"Hello mouse. Please click the button on yourself for me."

I honestly think that anyone that wants to use a mouse on a Mac should just use the Magic Trackpad instead. It gives you more gestures, a wider range of motion, and you don't have to hurt your hand by using it. :P

Every Apple designed mouse has something great about it... tracking, maybe battery life, but something infuriating, sometimes two things (horrible round shape, and ridiculous short cord on what I think was technically the first USB mouse available on computers on the original Bondi blue iMac mouse). I swear it is the Achilles heel of the Mac.

Apple laptops have had it good with the amazing, gigantic trackpads, I've just never understood the inability to get the mouse right.

So, I guess now we add Siri to lament about? AND, release with a new laptop, a device most never use a mouse with? Maybe if it is a feature nobody uses anyway, maybe they can get everything else right...

I must be in the minority, but I've always been very happy with Mac mice, my first being the Mighty Mouse (2006 for me).
