Yeah well that’s not the worst honestly… I have the exact model and for reasons I cannot explain the ergonomics are incomparable with me. And I’m a mac user for my music production activities so it’s not like I’m a hater - I really don’t care. But I’ll stick to only using the touchpad on my mac book pro.

Grip style. People grip their mice in different ways and the Magic Mouse really doesn't work for palm grippers. For fingertip grippers it's one of the most comfortable mice ever made; for everyone else it's hot garbage.

I'm a palm gripper and was using a Mac at work when this came out. I begged them to order me a real mouse within a month

The only thing I liked about it were the gestures but Ctrl+scroll zooming works fine

My carpal tunnel remembers as well

That’s a one-way ticket to carpal tunnel my friend. Just get a nice, non-apple mouse. That’s what I did and I couldn’t be happier. Video editor, so we largely work the same way.

Plus with even a cheap mouse these days you can customize different buttons - great for your workflow.

Trust me when I say this, wrist pain does not seem like a big deal until it starts happening. Then it affects literally everything you do. It took me months to get mine under control, it was awful. And now I have to constantly be taking preventative measures in a way I didn’t have to even just a few years ago. Admittedly this was largely due to using my phone too much, but I also relied too much on cheap mice and trackpads.
