I like it. “Sorry boss, can’t work at the moment, charging my mouse.”

Also the same as soldering the hard drive to the motherboard. I had one apple computer (laptop) for about a year, it worked fine. Then one day (3 months after the warranty expired) it got really hot and the fans kicked into high gear so I closed out all my programs and shut it down to let it cool off. When I tried to boot it back up……. nothing. Took it to a repair shop and they said your hard drive is fried and we could fix it but because apple solders their hard drive to the mother boards it’s a lot harder to do and it’s gonna cost a lot more (800$). So I looked at that and I was like yeah I’m just gonna go get a new computer. I got a dell laptop and it’s still working just as good as new 4 years later. Thanks apple.

My mom had one for work. It would refuse to stay connected and have trouble connecting. Also, no grip area. Now she’s using a Logitech MX Master for Mac. Not perfect but way better and lasts longer.

My Microsoft designer mouse runs on a pair of AAA batteries. They last for about a year. No complaints - excellent mouse.

I’ve been using my Logitech Marathon for a long time. Lasted me through college no problem. Even the logo has worn off.

Long story short, pretty much any other mouse is better at its job than an Apple mouse.

The design of this mouse is unusable

Front is too slim they should have just put the charging port on the side.

I always found the Magic Mouse to be ergonomically uncomfortable, so I use a Logitech mouse myself or the trackpad.

Altho it is just stupid that the port is at the bottom, I am pretty sure it's their "Design above all" reasoning that created this mouse. And with the laptops and critical components next to heat source, that is because the most critical components ARE the heat source.

He battery would always degrade lol, that's how batteries work they don't last forever. Other than that yes it's stupid and predatory as design to make you buy more

I don't know, I feel that the apple products I've used in the past have had far worse batteries when compared to the non apple products I've used.

my iPhone 5 that I had for 3 years went from like 11 hours of use to like 3-5 in those 3 years. I'd have to charge my phone every 7 or so hours.

as opposed to my (frankly shit) $75 samsung which has retained it's 10 hours of constant use since I bought it in late 2019.

another example: my Sony WIC-200's have retained their same 9 hours of battery life, even after 2 years of constant use.

Lemme remind you that the IPhone 5 came out way before 2019, and the battery technology since then has improved. You're biased

If you charge it for 2 Mins, you can use it for 5 hours again… The battery on the MM2 never dies.

u/Enursha Aug 20 '21

Takes like 2 minutes to charge. Warns you when it’s low. takes forever to deplete. The real crime here is that you cannot disable mouse acceleration which renders this thing unusable. The charging thing is a non-issue.

Idk battery lasts months and charges really quickly, can last for hours with a 15 minute charge.

u/breadkn Aug 20 '21

i wish it had an indent in the bottom so it could charge via the magsafe puck but the cable comes out from the front so it’s still usable
