Question:

I was having a bit of trouble with my Magic Mouse and it was not tracking properly. A battery change seems to have helped. But I looked at the underside of the mouse and did not see any light coming from the optical port. For the life of me I cannot remember if the Magic Mouse is supposed to have a red laser light visible on its underside or not. Can anyone help with the answer?

Does the Apple Magic Mouse light up?

When your Apple wireless keyboard, mouse, or trackpad is turned on, the indicator light flashes twice in succession, pauses, then repeats (blink-blink-pause, blink-blink-pause). This means the keyboard, mouse, or trackpad is “discoverable” by your Mac, and you can connect your Mac with it. After 3 minutes, the indicator light turns off. The keyboard, mouse, or trackpad is still on, but it is no longer discoverable. To make it discoverable again, turn it off, then turn it back on.

When the wireless keyboard, mouse, or trackpad connects with your Mac, the indicator light illuminates steadily for 3 seconds before it turns off. This indicates that the device has successfully connected with your Mac.

While your Apple Magic Mouse is connected to your Mac, the indicator light blinks at a regular interval. It might blink fast or slow, but in all cases, a regular blinking pattern means the mouse is connected to your Mac and is operating properly. The indicator light on an Apple wireless keyboard doesn’t blink.

Answer:

Answer:

MM2 does not have a green light on it. Check if it is charged. Use a USB mouse so you can configure the MM2 to pair with your computer using BlueTooth preferences. Be sure to slide the On/Off switch to ON - you should see green on the slide.

The keyboard has a very small and hard to spot On/Off switch on the rear of the keyboard. Be sure it is turned ON.

Are you sure it is charged up. The green light normally confirms this. Have you had problems with the charging cable recently.

To be fair to theratter, the green showing is not a light, but the background colour behind the switch to indicate the switch is set at on.
