it’s always the same comments rehashing the same old complaint when the real reason they designed it that way was to make you, the reader, mad
that’s right they hate you specifically

True, that's why I think Steve Jobs deserved to die of ligma
Who the hell is Steve Jobs?
Tim Apple's father
Some kind of mind goblin.
I know! That was the year I unfriended Jony Ive and he hasn't been invited to my birthday since!
Diss me via computer peripheral? I say thee: nay!
Because everything is about you, and only you.
This must be a joke. That can't actually be how they designed it right?
They really didn't want you using it as a wired mouse. Because aesthetics.
Aesthetically this looks way dumber than a wired mouse.
So that when other people see that you're using the mouse wirelessly, because apple cares about how others perceive your product that you bought, not you.
I mean, Apple users care more about how they're perceived using an Apple product rather than the cost-to-quality ratio of the product itself. Why wouldn't Apple cater to that? It's like printing money, and Apple users are so fucking cult-ish they fixate on things like green text messages.
The best examples of that, is how apple made headphones that yellow, but only the part thats in your ear, so you see it, but nobody else does, and you get temped to buy new ones.
It's 100% true
Yeah it's real. My parents have one.

You charge it like that for 15 minutes, and then you get a month of battery life. Odd design choice tho
Or get a normal mouse you can use while charging for 15 mins and then have a month of battery. Or charge for 2hrs while using and have six months of battery.
Or get a wired mouse and it works forever
Or get a wireless mouse that charges through the mousepad and it works forever while not having wires connect to your mouse.

This is twenty twenty, everything is air gapped or you’re not relevant. Don’t look in my room.

Wow, you're super early to the party.
They must have thought that people would buy two to have one while the other charged
Still better than the Mighty Mouse.
And while we’re at it, the razer deathadder v2 x hyperspeed is hot garbage and disconnects so often in 2.4g mode, I just went back to a wired mouse.
I made the mistake of buying a Razer Kiyo Pro webcam. Never again will I buy anything from Razer. Every time it's connected, it puts an installer on my hard drive unprompted and then tries to install its crapware. I've never seen a piece of hardware that puts an exe on your hard drive without user consent.

This has ruined my week - the mere thought that people actually brought this drives me insane.
I've been riding one pretty hard for my job for half a decade. It's pretty nice actually, I like the 2-axis touch scrolling. I wish it had a middle click, it's way too expensive, and last time I tried to get it working with Linux it was a fucking nightmare.
BetterTouchToolUI and set a middle click gesture. I consider that software mandatory for Max OS, and it's ridiculous that the features aren't built into the OS.
