Mouse charging

1. Bluetooth: Constantly searching for or maintaining a Bluetooth connection can consume battery. Ensure the mouse has a consistent and strong connection to your Mac.

2. Check Battery Health: On your Mac, go to the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar, hover over the mouse, and it should show you the battery percentage. If it’s depleting rapidly over short periods of non-use, there might be an issue.

3. Software Updates: Ensure your macOS is up-to-date. Sometimes, software updates include fixes that can address hardware or peripheral issues.

4. Reset the Mouse: Try turning off the mouse and then turning it back on. Also, you can try to disconnect (unpair) the mouse from Bluetooth settings and then re-pair it.

5. Check for Interference: Other electronic devices or wireless networks can sometimes interfere with Bluetooth connections, leading to increased power use. Ensure the mouse is being used in a clear area, away from potential interference.

6. Apple Support: Given that the mouse was bought in December and is relatively new, it would be a good idea to contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store. They can run diagnostics and potentially offer a replacement if the product is faulty.

7. Usage Pattern: Although the Magic Mouse should typically last about a month with normal use, if you’re using it heavily, battery life might decrease faster.

If you feel that something is wrong with your new magic mouse you can reach out to Apple technical hardware support to get it fixed Solutions - Apple Support

Our Apple mice usually last a couple of months; yours is not the norm.
