Review of the ESR MagMouse: A Compact Magnetic Mouse with USB-C Charging

The ESR MagMouse, a lightweight 75-gram wireless mouse, has caught attention for its innovative design and magnetic features. It combines Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity with a built-in USB-C charging cable that folds neatly into its body. The mouse features a 4800dpi optical sensor and seven buttons. Its magnets allow it to stick to certain surfaces, such as an ESR docking pad, although it’s not compatible with MagSafe accessories. The mouse is portable and easy to use, especially with Bluetooth Swift Pair for quick pairing. While it’s marketed as a travel-friendly device, its magnetic attachment is not ideal for travel bags or laptops in tight sleeves. Despite a few compromises, like a less premium feel, the MagMouse stands out as an affordable $36 option for users looking for a compact, magnetic mouse. ESR’s strategy is to focus on a dedicated magnetic docking pad, and the product is set to ship in June 2025. However, potential backers should be cautious of the risks involved in crowdfunding products. The product’s functionality may appeal mostly to office users rather than frequent travelers.
