My IMAC computer is a tool, want a small bit of help

Hi to anyone familiar with Apple IMAC with Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse 2. If I am using terminology right, Magic just means the keyboard and mouse each have a re-chargeable battery and so do not need a cable connected all the time. When do people re-charge their mouse, since it can not be used while its cable is plugged into it? It appears I will have to leave the computer turned on when I am not using it, so the charging cable will be "live", so I can charge the mouse.

Anyone with experience in this, replies will be appreciated!

The keyboard can be plugged in when using, but as you stated, the mouse cannot. Macs draw hardly any power when sleeping, so why not just put the
Mac to sleep instead of shutting it down. A benefit of that is the Mac is up quicker and that would also be a good time to charge the mouse. That?s how
I charge my new one. I had an old one that took AA batteries and I think I liked that better myself. If that doesn?t work for you, plug your mouse and
cable in to any usb power adapter and charge at your convenience.
 
Hi:
Thanks, I will try USB charger when not using mouse, I feel sure I have a charger around here somewhere!

I use a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse ( $35). They each use 1 'AA' battery. So far the batteries seem to last a year with daily use. Who needs rechargeable ?
 

Not an apple guy, but on my pc's, most of the newer pc's have a usb port that can supply power even when the computer is off. And the setting can be adjusted in the setup or bios...hit f10 ro f12 while booting pending brand. Others have one that is always hot but you have to find in the in the users manual. Older one, no... As some said, you might just charge it every 6 months and it will be fine...
 
Go to System Preferences and computer and set your "sleep" times and other things there to suit you. You can charge your keyboard while using your
machine since the power receptacle is on the rear. The mouse charge port is on the bottom so it's unusable while charging so it needs to be charged at night
while your computer is ON but in the SLEEP mode.
