Apple 的Magic Mouse在许多方面都是近代史上最具创新性的鼠标设计之一。然而,正如许多用户所经历的那样,当它决定困难时,它也可能是一个莫名其妙的难以使用的鼠标。
如果您的Magic Mouse拒绝连接或在滚动或移动时动作异常,以下是 Apple 肥皂棒啮齿动物的一些常见问题和修复。
一切都打开并充电吗?
让我们从基础开始。你的Mac开机了吗?蓝牙(Bluetooth)是否开启?Magic Mouse是否已充电?如果您的鼠标使用可拆卸电池,请考虑检查并更换它们。
基本上,回顾那些看起来太基本而不能忽视的基本事情。它可能感觉有点基本,但您不希望花费大量时间来解决问题,只是意识到它就像切换鼠标上的电源开关一样简单。
作为基本故障排除的一部分,这(Which)也是您应该做的事情。打开和关闭鼠标的电源开关,并检查LED灯是否按预期闪烁。如果没有,并且您已更换电池或为电池充电,您可能需要与Apple联系。
是魔术鼠标吗?
不要认为这是鼠标的错。尝试将问题缩小到特定鼠标或您尝试使用它的计算机。将Magic Mouse(Magic Mouse)连接到其他兼容设备以查看问题是否仍然存在。
如果您有另一只鼠标,您也可以将其连接到第一台计算机,以查看您的鼠标问题是否也出现在不同的鼠标上。如果您使用的是MacBook,请确保触控板工作正常,因为如果问题出在macOS本身,则两个指点设备之间可能会共享一些问题。这是找出哪个组件是真正罪魁祸首的快速方法。
检查电池连接是否松动
这仅适用于使用可拆卸电池的第一代Magic Mouse。这些老鼠因开发松散的电池连接而臭名昭著。例如,如果您提起并更换鼠标,电池会短暂断开,从而导致鼠标重置。
这令人难以置信的令人沮丧,并且那里有很多自制修复程序。似乎最成功的方法之一是在电池端子和电池之间放置一小块折叠的铝箔。一些可充电电池也比一次性电池稍厚和稍高,这可能会缓解这个问题。
鼠标配对了吗?
如果这是您第一次将Magic Mouse与特定Mac配合使用,则需要将其配对。如果它已经与另一台Mac配对,您需要先取消配对。
Apple 较新的Magic Mouse 2(Magic Mouse 2)和原始型号的配对程序也不同。由于您可能拥有许多不同的设备组合,因此最好查看Apple的Magic Mouses和其他无线Apple外围设备的官方设置指南。(Apple’s Official Setup Guide)
有干扰源吗?
您的Magic Mouse使用蓝牙(Bluetooth),这是一种数字收音机。虽然现代数字无线电连接非常擅长消除干扰,但如果同一频率上的干扰源过多,鼠标将无法连接。
许多独立的WiFi热点、大量蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备以及来自强大电源的模拟无线电干扰都可能出现故障。如果您的Magic Mouse在某个位置无法连接,但在其他位置却没有,则问题很可能是干扰过度。这里唯一的解决方案是减少干扰或尽可能重新定位您的计算机。如果这些都不是一个选项,那么您将不得不使用有线解决方案。
鼠标跟踪是否正确?
如果问题不是您的Magic Mouse根本无法连接,而是指针以不稳定的功能移动,那么您实际上可能只是传感器脏了。光学(Optical)鼠标使用微型摄像头和内部灯来寻找鼠标移动表面的变化。您需要做的就是使用潮湿的耳塞轻轻清洁传感器的镜头。
跟踪问题也可能是由您用于鼠标的表面引起的。例如,玻璃(Glass)表面通常很难让老鼠工作。试试鼠标垫或只是你的裤子,看看问题是否消失。
最后,跟踪问题的另一个常见原因是干扰或信号微弱。将鼠标移近计算机或按照上一节所述检查干扰源。
常见的魔术鼠标滚动修复
所以你的Magic Mouse上次使用它时滚动得很好,但现在突然不行了!这可能有很多不同的原因,但是遇到这个问题的人发誓有一些常见的修复方法。它们中的大多数都快速且易于尝试,因此值得一试!
- 关闭鼠标然后再打开
- 打开和关闭Mac 的蓝牙(Bluetooth)
- 重新启动你的 Mac
- 取消配对并配对鼠标
- (Set)在 Apple Menu>System Preferences>Accessibility>Mouse & Trackpad下(Trackpad)将鼠标滚动设置为“无惯性”
如果这些都不起作用,最后的手段是检查 macOS 更新,希望它是某种已修复的错误。如果您的Magic Mouse仍然无法在您的Mac(或其他任何地方)上滚动,那么您可能已经做了足够多的事情来保证让Apple看看它。
魔术鼠标替代品
如果您的Magic Mouse实际上已经放弃了数字幽灵,您可能需要考虑用替代品替换它。有许多出色的指针设备可以与 macOS 配合使用,甚至提供Magic Mouse所缺乏的功能。
我们特别喜欢罗技的(Logitech)MX Master Mouse系列。它们符合人体工程学,有很多按钮,并提供在设备之间快速切换的能力。我们同时在Mac、Macbook和 iPad 上测试了MX Master 2S 。只需(Simply)按下一个按钮,您就会立即移动到下一个设备。
与Magic Mouse 2(Magic Mouse 2)相比,Apple Magic Trackpad 2 在手势和桌面空间有限的情况下是一个更好的选择(Apple Magic Trackpad 2)。触控(Trackpads)板不适用于视频游戏等用例,但专业用户可能会发现它是比Magic Mouse更好的整体选择。
如果您仍在使用Magic Mouse 1 ,您也会对(Magic Mouse 1)Magic Mouse 2的改进感到惊喜。其中最重要的是解决了那些恼人的电池松动问题以及苹果(Apple)在第二代设备中修复的许多其他小错误。
无论您选择哪种方式,我们都希望您尽快恢复工作!
Magic Mouse Won’t Connect or Not Scrolling?
Apple’s Magic Mouse is in many ways one of the most innovative mouse designs in recent history. However, as many users have experienced, it can also be an inexplicably tricky mouse to work with when it decides to be difficult.
If your Magic Mouse refuses to connect or it acts strangely when scrolling or moving, here are some common issues and fixes for Apple’s soap bar rodent.
Is Everything On And Charged?
Let’s start with the basics. Is your Mac on? Is Bluetooth switched on? Is the Magic Mouse charged? If your mouse uses removable batteries, consider checking and replacing them as well.
Basically, go over the fundamental things that may seem too basic to overlook. It might feel a little basic, but you’d hate to spend a lot of time troubleshooting the problem only to realize it was as simple as toggling the power switch on your mouse.
Which is also something you should do as part of basic troubleshooting. Toggle the power switch on the mouse on and off, and check whether the LED light flashes as expected. If not, and you have replaced or charged the battery, you might need to get in touch with Apple.
Is It The Magic Mouse?
Don’t assume that it’s the mouse at fault. Try to narrow the problem down to the particular mouse or the computer with which you’re trying to use it. Connect the Magic Mouse to another compatible device to see if the problem persists.
If you have another mouse, you can also connect that to the first computer to see if your mouse problems also present themselves with a different mouse. If you’re on a MacBook, make sure that the trackpad is working properly, since some issues might be shared between the two pointing devices if the problem is with macOS itself. This is a quick way to figure out which component is the real culprit.
Check For Loose Battery Connections
This only applies to the first-generation Magic Mouse, which uses removable batteries. These mice are notorious for developing loose battery connections. If you lift and replace the mouse, for example, the batteries briefly disconnect, causing the mouse to reset.
It’s incredibly frustrating and there are plenty of homebrew fixes out there. It seems one of the most successful ones is to put a small, folded piece of aluminum foil between the battery terminal and the battery. Some rechargeable batteries are also slightly thicker and taller than disposables, which might mitigate the issue.
Is The Mouse Paired?
If this is the first time you’re using your Magic Mouse with a particular Mac, you’ll need to pair it. If it’s already paired with another Mac, you’ll need to unpair it first.
The pairing procedure is also different for Apple’s newer Magic Mouse 2 and the original model. Since there are so many different combinations of devices you might have, it’s best to check out Apple’s Official Setup Guide for the Magic Mouses and other wireless Apple peripherals.
Are There Sources Of Interference?
Your Magic Mouse uses Bluetooth, which is a form of digital radio. While modern digital radio connections are pretty good at cutting through interference, if there are too many sources of interference on the same frequency the mouse will have trouble connecting.
Lots of independent WiFi hotspots, a large number of Bluetooth devices, and analog radio interference from powerful electrical sources could all be at fault. If your Magic Mouse has trouble connecting in one location, but not in others, there’s a good chance the problem is with excessive interference. The only solution here would be to reduce the interference or relocate your computer if possible. If neither of those is an option then you’ll have to use a wired solution instead.
Is The Mouse Tracking Properly?
If the problem isn’t that your Magic Mouse won’t connect at all, but that the pointer moves in an erratic function, you might actually just have a dirty sensor. Optical mice use a tiny camera along with an internal light to look for changes in the surface the mouse is moving over. All you need to do is use a damp earbud to gently clean the sensor’s lens.
Tracking issues can also be caused by the surface you’re using for the mouse. Glass surfaces are often hard for mice to work on, for example. Try a mousepad or just your pants to see if the problem goes away.
Finally, another common cause of tracking problems is interference or weak signal. Move the mouse closer to the computer or check for sources of interference as described in the previous section.
Common Magic Mouse Scrolling Fixes
So your Magic Mouse was scrolling just fine the last time you used it, but now it suddenly doesn’t! There can be a lot of different reasons for this, but there are some common fixes that people who run into this problem swear by. Most of them are quick and easy to try, so they are worth a shot!
- Turn the mouse off and then on again
- Toggle your Mac’s Bluetooth on and off
- Reboot your Mac
- Unpair and pair the mouse
- Set mouse scrolling to “without inertia” under Apple Menu>System Preferences>Accessibility>Mouse & Trackpad
If none of these work, the last resort would be to check for macOS updates, in the hope that it’s some sort of bug that has been fixed. If your Magic Mouse still won’t scroll on your Mac (or anywhere else) then you’ve probably done enough to warrant asking Apple to have a look at it.
Magic Mouse Alternatives
If your Magic Mouse has actually given up the digital ghost, you might want to consider replacing it with an alternative. There are many excellent pointing devices that work a treat with macOS and even offer functionality that the Magic Mouse lacks.
We’re particularly fond of the MX Master Mouse series from Logitech. They are ergonomic, have lots of buttons, and offer the ability to quickly switch between devices. We’ve tested the MX Master 2S with a Mac, Macbook, and iPad at the same time. Simply press a button and you’ll instantly move to the next device.
The Apple Magic Trackpad 2 is a superior option compared to the Magic Mouse 2 when it comes to gestures and working with limited desk space. Trackpads aren’t great for use cases such as video gaming, but professional users may find that it’s a better overall choice than the Magic Mouse.
If you’re still using a Magic Mouse 1 you’ll also be pleasantly surprised by the improvements in the Magic Mouse 2. Not least of which is the end of those annoying loose battery problems and a host of other small bugs Apple fixed with the second-generation device.
Whichever you choose, we hope you’re back to work as soon as possible!
