    I don’t think anyone actually thinks this is a good design, but there are people who will say that the 2 min fast charge time is a manageable frustration. But it is a frustration.

    My bigger gripe is the ergonomics, or lack thereof. I don’t understand people who like the feel of that mouse.

      I used to work as a web developer and obviously we had Apple Macs because everyone knows you can’t make websites on Windows computers it’s literally impossible.

      Anyway, everyone ended up getting different mice because they are the worst mice ever made, by anyone ever since the ball mouse, and quite possibly even before. I do like the virtual scroll wheel but everything else about them is awful. Also I’ve had wireless mice since, and every single one of them has had better battery life than the Apple mouse.

      I do not believe Apple has ever made a good mouse. Maybe that’s why they were so gung ho on touch input devices

        Yeah, everything beyond the first mouse is famous for lacking at least one critical thing. For a company that invests so much in industrial design talent, the fact that they can’t make a damn mouse is hilarious.

        That said, their trackpads have always been some of the best in the industry.

      I would compare it to taking the case off your phone, placing it screen down, and dragging it across the desk. Flat small and thin.
