Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black arrives with a USB-C rechargeable battery, full Multi-Touch gesture surface, Bluetooth wireless pairing, and a woven USB-C charge cable at KSh 16,500, now in stock at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This is the 2024 USB-C model that replaced the older Lightning version, finished in matching black with a silver aluminum base, weighing just 99 grams across its 11.35cm body, and pairing automatically with any Mac running macOS Sequoia 15.1 or later or iPad running iPadOS 18.1 or later. The Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black ships ready to use right out of the box with a single USB-C charge cable that connects directly to the USB-C port on a MacBook, iMac, Mac mini, or iPad, removing the cable juggling that plagued users still tied to Lightning peripherals.
Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black serves Kenya's Mac-using professionals who want a matching pointing device for the black aluminum MacBook Pro, the Space Black Mac mini, and darker desktop setups across Nairobi's growing creative and technology workforce. Graphic designers running Adobe Creative Suite, video editors working in Final Cut Pro, software developers using Xcode and JetBrains tools, architects on AutoCAD for Mac, and finance professionals managing complex Excel and Numbers spreadsheets all benefit from the gesture-driven Multi-Touch surface that handles two-finger swipes between desktops, single-finger scrolling through documents, and double-tap activation of Mission Control. At Mascom International, we're seeing strong demand from corporate buyers in Westlands, Upper Hill, and Kilimani who pair the black Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black with the M4 Mac mini and Studio Display setups dominating Kenya's design studios, advertising agencies, and architectural practices.
Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black in Black holds a clear position in Kenya's accessory market through its native macOS gesture integration, which third-party Bluetooth mice from Logitech, Microsoft, and Razer cannot replicate at the operating system level. Users consistently report that one full charge through the USB-C cable lasts roughly a month of typical daily use, eliminating the daily charging routine common with smaller wireless mice. Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya that stock mostly white Magic Mouse units, Mascom International maintains the black variant in stock for buyers who specifically want the matching dark finish for their desk setup.
What is the Apple Magic Mouse 3 and what changed from the previous version?
The Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black is the 2024 update to Apple's wireless mouse line, identifiable by its USB-C charging port replacing the older Lightning connector. Apple released the updated Magic Mouse on October 28, 2024, switching the charge port from Lightning to USB-C while keeping the same body shape, Multi-Touch surface, and overall dimensions. Apple itself markets the device simply as "Magic Mouse" with USB-C in the model name, but customers commonly call it the Magic Mouse 3 to distinguish it from the second-generation Lightning version sold from 2015 through 2024. The black version pairs the dark Multi-Touch top surface with a silver aluminum base, originally introduced in 2022 as a bundle accessory with the Mac Pro and now sold as a standalone option for buyers who want it to match a black MacBook Pro keyboard area or a Space Black Mac mini.
How does the Multi-Touch surface actually work during real desktop use?
The entire top shell of the Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black functions as a touch-sensitive surface that recognizes finger gestures rather than relying on a separate scroll wheel. Single-finger swiping in any direction scrolls through web pages, documents, photo libraries, and Finder windows without the click-step feel of a wheel. Two-finger left or right swipes move between full-screen apps and Safari pages, two-finger double-tap activates Mission Control showing all open windows, and a single click anywhere on the front half registers as a left-click. Right-click works through System Settings configuration that detects clicks on the right side of the surface. Kenya-based Mac users running multiple Spaces for separate work projects, personal browsing, and Slack communications use the two-finger gestures dozens of times per hour to switch contexts without touching the trackpad or keyboard shortcuts.
How long does the battery last between charges and how do I charge it?
The internal rechargeable battery powers the Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black for about a month or more between charges under typical daily use, according to Apple's published specifications. Charging happens through the USB-C port located on the underside of the mouse, connected via the included woven USB-C charge cable to any USB-C port on a Mac, iPad, or USB-C charger. A short charge of approximately two minutes provides enough power for several hours of continued work when the battery runs low during a busy day. Full charge takes roughly two hours from empty. The charge port location on the bottom means the mouse cannot be used while charging, a limitation that practical users handle by charging during meetings, lunch breaks, or overnight rather than during active work sessions.
Does the Apple Magic Mouse 3 work with iPad and which models?
Yes. The Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black connects to any iPad running iPadOS 18.1 or later through Bluetooth pairing, providing pointer-based control for iPad apps, multitasking gestures, and document editing. Compatible iPad models include the iPad Pro 13-inch and 11-inch with M4 or M5 chips, the iPad Air 13-inch and 11-inch with M2, M3, or M4 chips, the iPad A16, the iPad 10th generation, the iPad mini A17 Pro, and the iPad mini 6th generation, alongside earlier compatible models running iPadOS 18.1. Kenya's growing population of iPad-first professionals university lecturers, medical consultants, sales representatives, and field engineers who use the iPad as a primary work device with the Magic Keyboard or Apple Folio cover gain proper desktop-style mouse control for spreadsheet work, document review, and presentation editing without switching to a Mac.
Why choose the black variant over the white Apple Magic Mouse 3?
The black Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black matches the darker desktop setups that have become common in Kenya's creative and technology sectors, particularly Mac mini Space Black configurations, Studio Display setups paired with black accessories, and MacBook Pro Space Black builds. The black Multi-Touch surface hides minor finger oils and dust marks better than the white version, a practical advantage in Kenya's dustier office environments and during daily transport between home and office. Functionally, the black and white versions are identical same Multi-Touch surface, same USB-C charging, same battery life, same Bluetooth connectivity, same gesture support, same compatibility list. The choice comes down to desk aesthetics and which finish coordinates better with the existing setup. Mascom International stocks the black variant specifically because Kenyan buyers who already own black or Space Black Apple hardware actively seek matching peripherals rather than mixing white accessories with darker computers.
What software requirements should I check before buying?
The Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black requires macOS Sequoia 15.1 or later on Mac, or iPadOS 18.1 or later on iPad, to function with full feature support. Older Macs running macOS Sonoma, Ventura, or earlier versions will not pair with the USB-C Magic Mouse properly Apple specifically built the device's pairing protocol around the macOS Sequoia release. This software requirement matters for Kenyan buyers using older MacBook Pro 2017 or 2018 models, iMac 2017 units, and earlier Mac mini configurations that may not support macOS Sequoia 15.1. Mac models that do support the required macOS version include the MacBook Air with M1 through M5 chips, MacBook Pro with M1 through M5 Max chips, iMac 2019 and later, Mac mini 2018 and later, Mac Studio all generations, Mac Pro 2019 and later, and the 2024 Mac mini and iMac M4 models. Checking the System Settings on the Mac confirms whether macOS 15.1 or later is installed before purchase.
Is the Apple Magic Mouse 3 worth buying over a Logitech or third-party Bluetooth mouse?
The Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black makes sense for buyers who actively use macOS gesture features and want a matching aesthetic with their Apple hardware. A Logitech MX Master 3S provides better ergonomics for long coding sessions, longer battery life on AA batteries, and customizable buttons that the Magic Mouse lacks, but it does not support native macOS Multi-Touch gestures at the operating system level. Microsoft and Razer Bluetooth mice offer similar third-party limitations on macOS. The Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black wins on three specific points: native gesture integration that requires no third-party software to function, automatic pairing with Apple ID-linked devices through iCloud, and physical aesthetics that match Apple desktops. It loses on three other points: ergonomics during marathon work sessions, the bottom-mounted charge port, and the absence of customizable side buttons. Kenya's professional Mac users who prioritize gesture workflow and visual coordination consistently choose the Magic Mouse, while those running long Excel or coding sessions often pair it with a secondary ergonomic mouse for comfort.
Does it work with non-Apple computers like Windows PCs?
The Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black connects to Windows PCs through Bluetooth pairing as a basic two-button mouse with scrolling support, but the full Multi-Touch gesture functionality does not work on Windows. Apple does not provide official Magic Mouse drivers for Windows, and third-party utilities like Magic Utilities can add gesture support on Windows, but they require separate paid software and ongoing setup maintenance. For Kenyan buyers running Windows-only environments, a Bluetooth mouse from Logitech, Microsoft, or HP provides better out-of-box compatibility. The Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black is genuinely worth buying when the primary use case involves a Mac or iPad with full macOS Sequoia or iPadOS 18.1 support.
How does the Apple Magic Mouse 3 handle Kenya's dust and humidity conditions?
The sealed Multi-Touch surface and aluminum base resist most office-environment dust and humidity that affect mechanical mice with exposed scroll wheels. Without a moving scroll wheel that can collect dust or jam, the Apple Magic Mouse 3 Black maintains consistent gesture response even after months of use in Nairobi office environments, coastal humidity in Mombasa, and the dustier conditions in upcountry locations. The plastic foot design, redesigned for the 2024 USB-C version, glides cleanly across most desk surfaces including wood, laminate, and the fabric mouse pads common in Kenyan office setups. For buyers concerned about long-term cleanliness, occasional wiping of the Multi-Touch surface with a slightly damp lint-free cloth removes finger oils and dust without affecting touch sensitivity. The black finish hides daily marks better than the white version under typical office lighting.
