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

      Well, indirectly the Magic Mouse does control screen time. Can’t be doomscrolling when you can’t scroll at all while the mouse is charging.

            The point is to make it impossible to have a cord snaking across the desk. You have to have it cordless. Like you said, form over function.
