Do you use a Magic Mouse? It’s really not that bad if your only computer use consists of social media and the occasional budgeting spreadsheet.

And before you mention it, yes the charging cable. In reality, plugging it in for literally 1 minute will get you enough battery to last hours. 5 minutes will get you an entire day. Normal people plug it in and go get a coffee or pee and then it’s fine until they log off for the day. Could it better? Of course, but it’s not so large an issue that they are losing customers on it, so it is what it is.

You’re not the target market for an Apple mouse and that’s okay.

You’ve convinced me. I hope on the next iPhone, they make it so you have to put the MagSafe puck on the front where the screen is instead of that back where it is now.

"You’re not the target market"

Unfortunately I had to learn this when I got my first mac.

You don't have to go very deep into the ecosystem to encounter things that... well, things bottom out at shallow.

Looking back... glossy displays. flat keyboards without curvature to center your fingers on the keys. more and more hurdles to using macos as a technical person. prematurely missing USB-A. memory/storage that's not expandable. Dongles everywhere as a checkbox item/workaround.

and of course, anything that superficially seems to be a mouse.

It's not just the terrible charging that makes it a bad product.

It's also the terrible ergonomics.

It's the epitome of putting form before function. It's a desk ornament that leads to frequent injuries with use. See: https://www.google.com/search?q=magic+mouse+injury

I was always baffled by people who use the Apple mouse and keyboard my wrists hurt just looking at them
