Now I’m not an apple fanboy, I have a macbook and this mouse, but no iPhone, iPad or even an apple ID. I’m also not claiming that this is good design.
But there is also nothing wrong with that mouse. The previous model used two AA batteries, which I think is worse. I do still have some of them around, but I use them rarley and sometimes forget to restock. So with it being rechargeable, at least for me, there is less risk of ever running out of battery.
And the battery lasts like 3 months on a full charge. It also charges quite fast so it’s really hard to get that thing depeleted. Just plug it in everytime you take a shit and you’re good. You can charge it for like 2 minutes and you’re good for 2 days. The issue is a meme only.
The only real problem I have with it is that it uses the stupid lightning port. If they’d just make it USB-C then I could ditch my lighting cable all together.
Or you could use an actually good Mouse. When it is empty after more than a month of intense use you just plug the USB -C cable into it and carry on working.
Their point is that the level of outrage about this thing is blown out of proportion.
If the battery didnt last forever and didn’t charge in basically no time then people who use the mouse often would be complaining more instead of people who like to shit on apple stuff
Is the design not the best? Sure
Is it as bad as the world says? Nope.
Many of us have this mouse because it was sent to us with our Magic Keyboard and laptop from work.
You’re absolutely right that they could have put the charging port somewhere more functional but nearly everyone who complains about this mouse has never actually used one.
Ok, I’ll bite.
