Apple's worst-designed product

Apple is still in the dilemma if they make their mice' design better, the design won't be unique.

[@ryanmakers]

Except that making a functional mouse would be unique for them.

[@Blubbaization]

Do you realy think, that a company like apple is not able to introduce a mouse, with the same features but a better but unique design? Maybe the let it be like that, for selling more trackpads (because like every owner of that mouse like instantly wants it) but in this case, what about a "pro mouse"? I think they could sell it for like 100 bucks and a lot of people would buy it!

[@ambuj.k]

@@Blubbaization That's the point, They are able to but don't want to. Like putting a charger with the phone.

[@samwu1836]

True. At some point, we've really got to acknowledge that for some things, being 'normal' is actually the best option. If wheels were not circles, we've got issues. Likewise, a mouse needs to be a design that allows a user to hold in their hands... not with their fingers.

[@os2171]

The arguments: 1) the mouse cant be utilized while charging? true. 2) you cant rest your hand while using it? true. in my case, I charge my Magic Mouse 2 every few weeks... (yes weeks! and I use it every day!) at times when I don't need it (I'm sleeping, eating, running, shopping out of home/office) 2) I naturally rest my hand on the pad mouse, not on the magic mouse 2. Therefore, while true, points 1 and 2 are NOT GOOD POINTS to call this a terrible product. it Is not perfect? I don't know, for me, these "issues" are not a design problem, In any case, I still love the magic mouse design, and I prefer it over any other non-Apple one.

[@androo4519]

Why would you want to put your wrist on the mouse? I put my wrist on the desk and use my fingertips for fine control. The Magic Mouse is the best mouse I've ever used by a long way. Sure, it's still not perfect, but if they made the top edge slightly more rounded it might be. I don't really care about the charging thing since I don't use my computer 24/7. Plug the damn thing in while you're having lunch. I hope Apple will take no notice of CNET in this case.

[@rml695]

I have to admit, before the introduction of the current iMac, I had pictured Apple going back to something similar to the pro mouse of the early 2000s. I was genuinely surprised when I saw that it hadn’t, especially considering everything else about the iMac seemed to be home run. Another option, might be to just bundle it with the Magic Trackpad to begin with.

[@brixan...]

Its not difficult to put a charging port on the front; it was intentional. They never wanted to create a wired house.

[@PJ-io8pl]

The battery lasts for at least a couple months, and the mouse warns you days before when you need a charge. Plus, a 2 minute charge gives you like 9 hours of battery life. There really should never be a need to use the mouse while charging, and if you need to use the mouse immediately but it’s out of charge, then that’s completely on you. So yes, the design is completely intentional. It’s understandable why Apple lets you charge the keyboard or trackpad while using them, because those devices are always stationary. Apple doesn’t allow you to use the Magic Mouse while charging, because then some people will always leave it plugged in, and that goes against Apple’s design and aesthetics of the mouse being an always wireless device. Is the mouse ugly and not very ergonomic? Sure, maybe. But is it poorly designed. No, I don’t think so.

That is why i switched to the MX Master 2s and then 3. The magic mouse's metallic structure, AA, and only finger use for movement makes it even heavier to move on a mousepad. The weight is alleviated when using on a tough flat surface like a table. My only favorite thing about the mouse is the super smooth and accurate scrolling.

Overall I like the Magic Mouse. The finger-hold method is something I like. I find it more precise than other mouses. I will agree that the charging is bothersome but thankfully it doesn't need to be charged all that often.

I'm not an insane apple fan as my username would suggest... but I am an insane fan about the Apple Magic Mouse!

I actually hold it the correct way and find it super comfortable, very accurate, and I couldn't imagine not having the accurate scrolling and hand gestures. It definitely depends on hand size, and many other factors... I've used the Magic Mouse for at least a few years, and I can't replace it with anything else.

[@someone7805]

It's a good idea, but there's just one problem. Both devices will get WAY too hot. We all know what happened to AirPower in 2017. Putting the mouse anywhere on the pad while it still charging means that the charging coils will have to be squished together, causing overheating, and even possible fires. Another point is that the mousepad will need to be really thick, making it not look as stylish as Apple's standard. Good idea, but we may have to wait a decade or so.

I’ve used one for years. The charging port is terrible (but I think I charge it less than once a month by plugging it in when I’m done for the day). But, I’m a software engineer. I don’t use a mouse much. So, the remarkably unergonomic shape doesn’t impact me. I do love the touch sensing and the ability to swipe through virtual desktops at the ready allowing me to turn a 2 monitor set up into an 8 monitor set up with an array of virtual desktops on each monitor with separate usages. In each case it’s either a full screen or split screen function with another key program. The ability to swipe through virtual desktops is the ONLY reason I use this mouse. I believe Logitech has a mouse with a wheel that will do this. The next time I’m looking for a mouse I will likely try that out. To your point, when I was a project manager I wouldn’t have been able to use such an unergonomic mouse because my right hand virtually lived on the mouse.

Worst design Apple products? Where do we start. The titanium MacBook which literally broke. The much later MacBook with the cable inside that was too short, so every time you open the screen you stretched it and eventually broke it. iPhone four, which worked wonderfully until you went to hold it in your hand. The cube Macintosh, overheated, failed internally.

I can't control my laugh because today also I have cursed the mouse design and speed

[@MansellIreland]

Yes agree, hate that mouse with a passion.

[@stel1000]

I think it’s great. It is ergonomic. The problem is just the lightning cable on the bottom. The cable placement is just awful.

funny thing is I actually like the hockey puck mouse back in 2001 when I was using it for graphics class

Doug Engelbart designed the mouse is 1960, so 60 years ago. The trackpad is the new mouse, apparently.

They should have kept the Mighty Mouse form factor and added the touch surface. Perfect!

[@user28495]

Agree with this video. Also the acceleration curve sucks on the Magic Mouse making it hard to point

[@anaymakan6989]

Honestly it’s not that deep. Used for 6 years. Battery life lasts about a month and when I need to charge. I plug in when I’ve finished work. And when I use my computer again. The mouse is charged

[@101numlock]

They don’t want people to leave it plugged in all the time and destroy the battery in it.
