Not sure if my magic mouse is magic mouse 2 or 3

Hello,


I recently bought a magic mouse from a local tech store, brand new.

I want to order a case for it from aliexpress but it seems like the sellers there have multiple types of cases designed for different magic mouse generations 1 2 or 3. For me they all look the same but it is possible to have some differences since the sellers on aliexpress sell 3 types of magic mouse cases.


At the store they said this is a magic mouse 3 2021, but as I have searched online its model number: A1657 I could see various websites which say this is a magic mouse 3 others say it's a magic mouse 2 and it confused me.


On Apple's website it says only magic mouse, but the model number in the picture corresponds to mine: Magic Mouse - White Multi-Touch Surface - Apple


Could you please let me know which generation of magic mouse is this, 2 or 3?


Thank you.

An A1657 is a Magic Mouse 2. There is no Magic Mouse 3.

The difference is that the Apple Magic Mouse 2 is the lightning one, the 3rd is an updated one with the USBC type connection. The only difference is the connector. - Same thing with the AirPods Pro 2 with lightning, and now, the ones with USBC type. - The latter are not AirPods Pro 3, they are still the 2nd gen, with a minor update in the connector only, but not in overall functionality.


I hope that helps.
