Another thing that has never been a problem in the decade and a half that I’ve had a magic mouse. Is it dead? Plug it in for 15 minutes and go get some coffee and maybe have a pee. Plug it in when you’re done at the end of the day, and you’ll be golden for a month.
You seems to not grasp why people don't like the mouse charging design. Yes you can do all of those things you mentioned and its probably fine. Why people hate it though? Apple is forcing you to use their products the way they want you to. You're changing your whole workflow to bend to their will. That's why people hate it. Not that it's a problem, but that you now have to mess around and take 15 minutes out or your day waiting for a mouse to charge instead of.. Just plugging in a cable to a port, positioned in a sane way, the top side of the mouse!
But instead, people make up excuses and are totally fine having a corporation tell them "go get some coffee, because of our design decisions, you can't use your product right now..."
Like, its just a weird, stupid, petty design decision. Imagine if your laptop wouldn't charge while you used it, while every other laptop can. Sure it can have amazing battery life, but the 1 time it dies, you have to stop your work, and wait for it to charge, before using the laptop again all because someone said 'nah, I don't want the user to be able to use the product that way.'
Again, its stupid and petty.
I almost made it to Best Buy checkout with a Logitech mouse that would’ve been perfect for my needs and preferences, but two Apple hitmen came out from nowhere, intercepted me, pointed a gun at my head, and frogmarched me back to the Apple section. Now I’m forced to use this fucking Magic Mouse. Fuck you Apple.
Lol ya had me in the first half...
I would argue that getting all twisted up about something so inconsequential is stupid and petty.
Lol fair enough.
No, you're plugging it in for 10 minutes if you somehow manage to forget to leave it plugged in overnight once in a while.
It must be nice to be immune to random interruptions and 15 minute delays.
