First time, people thought it was an innocent design mistake. An oversight ona minor product.

Next update, OK still there, but maybe it was a leftover from the original design.

This time. No, it's intentional. You deserve all the mocking heading your way.

The charging port is one thing. What’s worse to me is that it’s just a shit mouse.

Had to use one for two days recently; my wrist started hurting like hell. It lacks basic ergonomics and the scrolling is horrendous.

no no literally every other mouse manufacturer has got the shape of human hands wrong. you're probably holding it the wrong way. your hand has a design flaw.

Yes, yes, yes! The easy workaround no one is talking about is ... buy a 2nd Apple mouse. Now! Obey!

if you put one magic mouse on top of the other you almost get something you can hold in your palm so yeah definitely

Yea. The charging port isn’t as huge a deal as people make it out to be. In the time it takes to get a cup of coffee, the mouse will charge enough to last the rest of the day. It’s just a really unergonomic mouse. Get a Logitech MX Master instead. Your wrist will thank you.

Amazingly it's not even the worst mouse they've ever made

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

Would that be the "puck mouse?"

Lol idiots.

Make a wireless mousepad to charge it and it will not need the USB port. And it will cost 3 times as much. Let the pad charge an iPhone too. It would be perfect.

A mousepad? From Apple? Didn't you know that all MacBook users use them exclusively inside a trendy coffee shop or on the couch? There's no place for a mousepad!

Sounds like they want you to buy 2

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

It's literally the basis for any decision they make.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Put it on the bottom or left it there?

There’s no good looking option on the top/side if you’re Apple and care about aesthetics.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

Wireless charging? At this point they should just commit.

Not as bad as the hockey puck mouse, but pretty damn close.

So usbc was the only change? 🤨

Magic mouse is the least ergonomic mouse I can think of.

Get a vertical mouse y'all.

The last 3 web marketing startups are exclusively MacOS. I had to get all of them to let me use a PC as an exception because the mass majority of our web visitors use PCs and we are not able to QA correctly because everyone at the company uses a Mac.

I tried to use the MacOS. There seems like there is an intentional input lag. It's slight but it just feels slower. I have a Samsung Odyssey OLED 49 ultra wide and it restricts my fps to 120 when it's able to do 240hz.

It won't let me plug in 3 monitors. And even with just 2 connected, when I'm working on a secondary screen it blurs my clock on the primary screen. But wwwwwhhhhhhyyyyyyy.....?!?!?! What's the fucking point?!?! Why do people insist on using Mac's?!?! This OS is terrible.

Go into the mouse settings increase the tracking speed. It's the first thing I do on every Mac because otherwise it feels slow.

I've got three monitors on my Mac right now and none of the menu bars are blurred out. I don't know what you're doing wrong here.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

It's not really the tracking speed but there is sort of a smoothing thing turned on. Just seems less crisp when moving the mouse around.

It won't let me plug in 2 external monitors. Just 1 extra one. Probably have an older Mac.

Is there a reason you're coding with 240fps
