While the Magic Trackpad has a software setting to turn off the "click" sound (called Silent Clicking), is there something similar for the Magic Mouse?
The click, Click, CLICK is so loud after a while it's no longer nostalgic, but distracting.
As far as I know the Magic Mouse ‘clicks’ are mechanical, not electronic. You will have to explain yourself in detail. Of course the mechanical clicks cannot be altered or reduced. Is the clicking sound related to a specific app?
Why don’t you go to an electronics/computer store and examine the various third party mice for sale. ALL of them have mechanical clicks. It is unavoidable as the clicks actuate mechanical switches in the devices. If you find one that suits your abnormally sensitive hearing then buy it.
I figured it was mechanical.
It's ironic that the "click" is a throwback to when mice were first designed, but it doesn't have to be that way. We no longer need to hear the click in such a dominant way. The fact that the Magic Trackpad has a means of turning off the click sound indicates this. Of course, all touch screens don't have a sound when tapped with a finger.
Since using this Magic Mouse for the first time, the click sound is very dominant. It's like it's announcing, "You have clicked! You have clicked!" with every selection.
I can only hope a future design includes a way of controlling the click sound.
Yes, that's the next course of action. It's nice to stay in the Apple ecosystem, but I'll find something else that works better.
Ironically, the click is not just a distraction to me—it's audible on video calls when I'm presenting.
Magic Mouse (A1657) clicking sound is loud!
