Yes, it even beats out the collapsed Tacoma Narrows Bridge:

I haven't used a mouse in 20 years since the touch pads became so good so I'm no expert, but but maybe the designers didn't want you be charging while using the mouse so it would be a ......wireless mouse.

Touch pads are the work of the devil, mouse or Lenovo clitoris it is.

Laying the mouse on its back leaves the optics vulnerable to dust, especially if you leave it charging over a weekend in your work office. Plus, having an open lightning port in the scrapings zone (*) seems like a recipe for crudding up that socket.

My Apple Magic Mouse 2's are all in storage. I use an old Magic Mouse 1 with a third-party rechargeable battery pack and wireless charging on my office iMac. The slider rails are worn pretty thin now, and I will need to figure out how to transplant them from a MM2 or buy a used MM1 if I ever return to my office full time.

(*) Maybe I'm the only person who ever wore the surface off of a laminate desk top with a mouse? I have to clean the slider rails on my Apple Magic Mouse weekly with an alcohol wipe to remove the crud/shavings that it picks up from the desk surface.....

Trackball FTMFW!! Every once in a while I have to pop out the ball and wipe the contacts, but it doesn't move around and ruin my desk surface. And cleaning those contacts is almost as good as popping zits!!!!!

Limegrntaln · 04-27-2022, 12:55 PM

I take it that you have never used an Apple Magic Mouse? No eff-in-weigh could I ever use a mouse on a Mac without being able to do gestures on its top surface! An Apple Magic Trackpad might be an option...if it does the same gestures as the MacBook's trackpad.....

Esteban · 04-27-2022, 04:06 PM

Touch pad for me. Could never go back to a mouse.

Sounds like a legitimate design gripe. For me personally, PC mouses (mice?) are a thing of the past. Moving that right hand back and forth 100s of times a day. Once I got the hang of touchpads, it was no going back.

Yep, same here.

My wife still uses a mouse with her laptop. Won't even try the touchpad. So much easier imo.
