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 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.
no no literally every other mouse manufacturer has got the shape of human hands wrong. you're probably holding it the wrong way. your hand has a design flaw.

Yes, yes, yes! The easy workaround no one is talking about is ... buy a 2nd Apple mouse. Now! Obey!
if you put one magic mouse on top of the other you almost get something you can hold in your palm so yeah definitely
Yea. The charging port isn’t as huge a deal as people make it out to be. In the time it takes to get a cup of coffee, the mouse will charge enough to last the rest of the day. It’s just a really unergonomic mouse. Get a Logitech MX Master instead. Your wrist will thank you.
Amazingly it's not even the worst mouse they've ever made
Would that be the "puck mouse?"
Lol idiots.
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.
Sounds like they want you to buy 2
It's literally the basis for any decision they make.
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.
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.

Go into the mouse settings increase the tracking speed. It's the first thing I do on every Mac because otherwise it feels slow.

I've got three monitors on my Mac right now and none of the menu bars are blurred out. I don't know what you're doing wrong here.
It's not really the tracking speed but there is sort of a smoothing thing turned on. Just seems less crisp when moving the mouse around.
It won't let me plug in 2 external monitors. Just 1 extra one. Probably have an older Mac.
Is there a reason you're coding with 240fps
I code in 240fps because I can afford it. But for some reason Apple prohibits it unless I buy their monitor.
Magic mouse is the least ergonomic mouse I can think of.
Get a vertical mouse y'all.
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.
I mean while we're sharing anecdotes, I use a wireless Logitech mouse and I plug it in and continue using it when I get a low battery warning. I can't charge it overnight because I plug it into my monitor's USB port which powers down when the monitor sleeps.
We exist! Lol
"yOuRe hOLdInG iT WrONg" apple users will jump through any hoop to forgive apple shitting on them. I never plug my mouse in from a low battery warning, why would I when I can just plug it in and use it corded when it dies?
I use a wireless Logitech mouse daily for work.
I have a mental disorder. I can easily forget to bring a cable with me so the battery will get much lower than the 10% low battery threshold. I can then KEEP FORGETTING to charge it. When I'm finally with a cable, it's nice to be able to use it plugged in.
I think this whole situation shouldn't be a WHY question, but a WHY NOT?
