An engineer hacked Apple’s infamous Magic Mouse to make it more user-friendly, ergonomic, and overall less annoying. Ivan Kuleshov is the said engineer, and he has also hacked the Apple Mac Mini in the past to be powered over Ethernet.

Stupid? Hold my beer while we put the charging port right on the bottom plate, so it doesn’t interrupt those clean beautiful lines while it lays on its side like a bloated dolphin.

    I’ve been bitten by this. I’ve gotten a battery warning in the AM at the start of a day and had my mouse die in the early afternoon. It’s annoying that I can’t just charge it while working so I had to dig around for another mouse and use that while it charged. I hate that I have to check the charge on it and then forget after a while because it does last a long time. So it’ll die on me and I’ll get good about checking charge for a few days and then forget for a while and boom it happens again. If Apple sold this config I would definitely replace my current mouse with a better design.

    Logitech had the foresight to put a little light on their devices that lets you know when the battery is low. But I guess that would ruin the sleek form factor.
