    Great Product!

    • Written by from Hoboken

    I love it! I always wanted something like this but Apple never did it. Now, I no longer have to switch batteries for my mouse!

    Great Product, don't believe the haters

    • Written by from Allentown

    I put off buying this product many times because of the negative reviews. But they are just wrong....

    If you have any hand-eye coordination or a passable amount of mechanical ability, the battery insert CAN be installed correctly, and it will not fall out. If you've changed the batteries on your magic mouse, this is simple.

    Insert the top portion (near the optical eye) FULLY first. Then insert the bottom portion FULLY, until the slide thing clicks into place. Done.

    I got to the point where I couldn't stand having to change the batteries on my magic mouse so often. This is an elegant solution.

    Also, my battery percentage seems correct. Not sure if i'm reading something wrong.

    Get the product, you won't be sorry.

    fantastic!

    • Written by from Toronto

    I love my magic mouse and bluetooth keyboard, but have always been frustrated by the amount of batteries I buy to keep them running. This device works fantastically, looks nice, and has prevented me from buying batteries for three months now. I'm off to the store to buy their keyboard charger as well!
    Great work, Mobee! Assuming that the Mobee battery continues to function for a few years, this product really is green, and will pay for itself many times over.

    So far, so good...

    Only have had it for about a day so far... so far, it has a bright future ahead... I will most certainly not miss buying a surplus of AA batteries ever other week...

    Works brilliantly...

    • Written by from Highlands Ranch

    ... well almost. There is one little niggle where OSX doesn't update the battery status for the mouse unless you pull the battery at first. The work arounds to that is to either quickly pull the battery and re-insert to get the status to update, or ignore the status and just know that your mouse is 100% when the light on the charger is solid green. It is a minor annoyance, but does little to take away from how nice this product is. I was tired of replacing the batteries in my mouse on a weekly basis. I tried the Durecells, I tried the Lithium, I tried various rechargeable batteries including Apples own, and Eneloops, I was still stuck in a cycle of replacing with newly charged batteries weekly. I like the convenience of simply placing it on the pad periodically and letting the mouse charge.

    AWESOME Battery Pack/Recharging Unit

    • Written by from Zion

    I love being able to place my magic mouse on this awesome charger and I know I will have a fully charged mouse by the next time I use it. Plus if you forget or are not able to charge your mouse for a couple of days, NO WORRIES!! The charge lasts a long time as well. Beats having to buy loads of batteries and you don't have to worry about having to change the batteries like disposable batteries. Just place on the magic charger!! No fumbling with removing the back and knocking the batteries out and putting it all back together!! I definite MUST buy for magic mouse owners!! :-)

    Perfect! Love it!

    • Written by from Angola

    The Mobee Magic Charger absolutely awesome. I read so many bad reviews that I almost didn't buy it.

    PLEASE IGNORE THOSE BAD REVIEWS!

    One complaint about the charger is that the new battery pack didn't fit in the mouse. This is ridiculous. It fits perfectly. There is no problem whatsoever. Some reviews even said that the pack would fall out of the mouse occasionally. I lift and move and carry my mouse all the time and that has never happened. I even carry it in my pocket with no trouble.

    I also read complaints about bad battery life. I've been using this mouse for almost two weeks and I'm still at 48% battery life! It's way better than I thought it would be.

    I don't know what those bad reviewers are doing with their mouse, but if you use it as directed, this charger and pack are the perfect companion.

    Excellent product, very happy!

    Great Product- Actually a 4 ½ star Rating

    • Written by from Weston

    I read many reviews before buying this product. A lot of the criticisms were centered around the fact that the battery pack fits oddly into the mouse, or that there was no USB wall plug included. Both of these cases are true, but not enough to demote the product itself.
    When it comes to the fitting into the mouse, I had a little bit of trouble at first, and since it wasn’t 100% properly fitted, the battery charge sensed by the mouse was not as effective. It’s hard to explain the right way to fit the battery except you have to cram it in and make sure it’s 100% flush and snapped into place. Once I did that, I’ve had a good lengthy battery life for almost a week (only charged it once when I got it, and 5 days later I’m at 44% without ever turning the mouse off).
    As for the USB plug, that was a bummer, but if you have a Mac, chances are you have iOS/iPod products and more than one spare charger (don’t lie, you know you do). If not, I’ve seen department stores and pharmacies selling very similar USB wall chargers for a lot less than the $30 the Apple one costs. $10 later and that problem is solved too.
    The payoff from having a rechargeable mouse in such an attractive and practical product is much greater than the only 2 minor inconveniences it has.

    werks 4 me

    • Written by from Toronto

    A godsend considering how difficult I find Apple's battery housing seems to be to replace the batteries...

    The only small issue I've had with my mobee is sometimes the battery level is out of date - not a problem if you use the charger regularly & assume it may be fixed at some point.

    Not Charging?

    • Written by from La Canada Flintridge

    Turn off your mouse and charge it and then turn it back on after being charged and it should show 100% charged. Reset mine and it works fine!

    No problems after three months

    • Written by from Round Rock

    I bought the Mobee Charger for my Magic Mouse the end of April, and it is fabulous! I did have trouble getting it installed correctly in the beginning. It's a VERY tight fit, and if it's not completely flush it won't charge correctly. Once I got it installed correctly it runs like a dream, and the battery life is amazing!!! I had it off the charger, turned on for 10-12 hours a day for a four day stretch and the battery didn't die. I highly recemmend it!!

    Perfect fit, charges when sleep.

    • Written by from Cambridge

    Nice little gadget for my magic mouse. Did struggle a bit when I tried to put the battery in place but once it is done (properly) it's a perfect fit with good clearance from the desk surface.

    Also charges when the iMac is put on sleep.

    So far it can run many days on one charge, don't know how long this will last though.

    Had mine on pre order from before they were released. Have been using for many happy months now with no issues. Mouse is always charged and is such a breeze to maintain battery power.

    Great Product

    • Written by from Forest

    I purchased this as soon as I heard of it and it was still relatively new, I have had no problems with this at all, it just works and works well.
    Easy to install and then forget all about it, very, very handy!

    Good product and it was a smart purchase for me personally.

    I would recommend this to anyone.

    The Magic Charger works great for me. Very impressed by it so far.

    • Written by from Maple Ridge

    The Magic Charger seemed like a great idea and what I read about it was all good and so far I haven't been disappointed. I highly recommend the device. It works as promised.

    I bought two of them and it's been a few weeks with absolutely no issues. The Magic mouse on both mac minis always has power and is always connected and no wires to disconnect and no batteries to change. These two work so well I'm thinking of getting two more for my other macs.

    works perfectly

    • Written by

    I had the Magic Charger for 3 months and I've never had any problem!
    and about the battery level of 80% I read on the mobee website that is normal for a full recharge:
    "The Alkaline batteries originaly delivered with the Magic Mouse are 1.5V per cell, meaning 3V for the 2 cells when you use brand new batteries.
    We are using NiMH batteries, these are 1.2V per cell. Thus when fully charged that's 2.4V which means that OSX will read 70 to 80% only"
    I think that is clear, and when my battery is fully charged I can use my mouse during 5 to 6 days. Actually I've never had any problem of charge because each time I don't use my mouse I put it on the base station and I like this concept because I don't have to think if my mouse is charged or not!
