    • For the fastest charging performance, make sure your Mouse is turned on. [1]

    You'll find the rectangular opening near the bottom of the mouse under some icons and text.
    • When you purchased the Magic Mouse, you should have also received a lightning cable to charge it. If you don't have that cable, any lightning cable will work.

    Insert the USB-end of the cable into a wall adapter. The wall adapter looks like a white cube with two prongs on one side that fit into a wall socket.
    • If you want to charge your mouse using your computer, plug the USB end of the cable into one of your computer's USB ports. You cannot, however, use the mouse when it is charging.
