      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 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.

      Meh. I got one for free from a job’s tech allowance, and it’s never really a problem. It charges fast and the OS warns you early enough to plug it in on a lunch break or at the end of the day well before it runs out. Not ideal but def not garbage. Honestly, I get more frustrated with noise canceling headphones and keyboards dying at inconvenient times than I ever do the mouse.

      I dont use it daily, but it is a pretty good mouse for my laptop bag. Charge holds a long time for once/week use. If it’s dead when I get to the coffee shop or wherever I’m working, itll be usable in 15 mins or less anyway. It also works nicely with Linux out of the box, which is a rarity among Bluetooth mice (in my experience).

      The other elephant in the room: not having multitasking gestures on a mouse when using macOS is a serious drawback for any other mouse out there, so there is a reason people are willing to put up with the annoyance (if they ever get annoyed in the first place)

        I got one too, my big problem with the mouse is that when it’s upside down like that it just wobbles all over the place and invariably falls off the table. It’s like a cat magnet, they can’t resist pushing it.

        Anyway it’s an awful mouse, I hate that kind of not really buttons thing that they’ve got going on.
