      That’s because apple wants to form an abusive relationship with you where you try to justify all the dumb shit they do because you build it into your ego identity.

        It’s done so you can’t use the mouse with it plugged in. Because obviously that would be terrible and awful so must be stopped at all costs.

          Jesus, there are easier ways, just have the whole mouse be electrified to lethal levels when plugged in, it still wouldn’t look as bad.

      Notice that it’s never people who have the mouse complaining about the port location.

      A brief 1-2 minute charge nets you hours of use, it’s really not a big deal.

        False. I was issued that mouse at a previous workplace and it pissed me off so much I brought in my own mouse. And my experience was that when the mouse was fully dead it needed to charge a long time to be usable again.

        If it just simply let you use it while it was plugged in there’d be absolutely no issue. It’s a dumb design.

      It’s garbage to begin with. You can’t right click with both fingers resting on the mouse. Shit design through and through, it’s equally functional right side up or upside down.

          Not without lifting your fingers off the mouse every time.

            Look…it’s a shit mouse, but all you had to do is press on the right-front corner for right click after you configured it to do so.

            I hated the thing and would never get one again, but if you’re going to criticize it, at least point out things that are actually a problem.

              Nope. If your other finger is still resting on the mouse, it fucks up and can’t tell the difference between left and right click. It’s a 50/50 gamble unless you lift your fingers off beforehand.

              Yes, I did use the mouse before, and I was wondering why the fuck the thing kept right clicking when I left clicked and left clicking when I right clicked. Only after googling did it reveal that it misinterprets shit if both fingers are resting on the mouse.

              What kind of fucking mouse requires googling to click?

      Honestly seems like it’d be a rough fight with stuff like the mx master on market already. Not worth the effort. Edit: I may finally jump from my g700s to a mx master soon

      Here here!

      Best mouse I’ve ever had. Lasted 10+ years. Just can’t justify $100 for a new one

        I bought an MX3 on a sale when leaving one job that wanted the mouse back and coming to one that didn’t offer one (or maybe I simply wasn’t patient enough?). The next job had an MX2S from a previous employee in the box with factory sealed cheapo mice. Easy choice to go for the used MX. Now I have two! But sometimes I get confused when they’re accidentally in the same place 😅 also love the three channels for pairing to different devices. Even comes in handy on the iPad once in a while.

      i bought one and ended up going back to my magic mouse. i use mostly magic mice, but i did finally figure out why i have such a strange mouse preference. it’s the weight. so i bought a really lightweight razer mouse, and i enjoy using that.

      it also charges on the bottom!

    First they pioneered USB-C-charging for phones, and now they invent USB-C-charging for peripherals! Mind blown, truly visionary stuff from Apple.

    Are you sure this is new? I’d swear all the M-series iMacs I’ve ordered for work over the last few years recharged the keyboard and mouse through USB-C

    It’ll be a moment for the history books when I can charge my mouse and use it at the same time
