    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.

    Kuleshov recently shared on X that he has created “the world’s first ergonomic Magic Mouse with no weaknesses” and that “you can charge it via USB-C right while you’re working.” In the same Twitter thread, he walked us through the details.

    Kuleshov also adds that he knows there’s room for improvement and will share this project on his site and GitHub “in the coming days.”

    Interestingly enough, there have been past attempts at fixing the Magic Mouse, like when Matty Benedetto, behind the famous YouTube channel Unnecessary Inventions, 3D printed a lifter for the back of the Magic Mouse 2 that rolled around on a pair of metal ball bearings.

    The lift allowed the mouse to slide around a desk while connecting to a power source and recharging.
