Apple put the Magic Mouse’s charging port on the bottom again

Sounds like they want you to buy 2

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.

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 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.

I use a wireless mouse from Logitech for work (and so does a lot of my coworkers), and never in its ~5 years of use did I use the mouse plugged in.

The device gives multiple low battery warnings well in advance. I just plug it in before logging off after I receive the second or third warning.

I acknowledge Apple’s obtuseness of choosing form over function with the Magic Mouse (among other devices across their catalogue), but anyone who has used a wireless mouse daily would know that it is not as big of a deal as the media and community makes it out to be every time a discussion takes place about the Magic Mouse.

apple is such a weirdo fucking company. just weird little gremlins scuttling about.

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.

All of my wireless mice are Logitech. I have never used one while it’s plugged in.

Lol idiots.

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.

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

So usbc was the only change? 🤨

It was never a problem for me. I don’t use my mouse 24 hours a day and the battery lasts a month.

Hey look I understand the annoyance but maybe apple is protecting consumers. Im no expert on this but have heard in tje past that its not good for the battery to use a device while its battery is charging.

Yet I do this with chromebook often and the device two years later works like new. But that's a Chromebook with an on average, bigger battery then most low cost phones/mouee.

The complaints about this are ridiculous. Charge it before the battery runs out. It only takes like an hour to charge anyway. This has never been a problem for me and all of the years this has been out. 15 minutes will give you enough charge for an entire day’s worth of work.

Just plug it in and go get some coffee for goodness sake.
