First time, people thought it was an innocent design mistake. An oversight ona minor product.

Next update, OK still there, but maybe it was a leftover from the original design.

This time. No, it’s intentional. You deserve all the mocking heading your way.

The charging port is one thing. What’s worse to me is that it’s just a shit mouse.

Had to use one for two days recently; my wrist started hurting like hell. It lacks basic ergonomics and the scrolling is horrendous.

no no literally every other mouse manufacturer has got the shape of human hands wrong. you’re probably holding it the wrong way. your hand has a design flaw.

Yes, yes, yes! The easy workaround no one is talking about is … buy a 2nd Apple mouse. Now! Obey!

Yea. The charging port isn’t as huge a deal as people make it out to be. In the time it takes to get a cup of coffee, the mouse will charge enough to last the rest of the day. It’s just a really unergonomic mouse. Get a Logitech MX Master instead. Your wrist will thank you.

Make a wireless mousepad to charge it and it will not need the USB port. And it will cost 3 times as much. Let the pad charge an iPhone too. It would be perfect.

A mousepad? From Apple? Didn’t you know that all MacBook users use them exclusively inside a trendy coffee shop or on the couch? There’s no place for a mousepad!

I’ve got the logitech one that does this and it’s amazing. Love it.

The problem they have is that they already used iPad so they are probably waiting until that product is dead before recycling the name.

I had something kinda like this from Corsair. Though it only had a small spot in a corner where you would place your phone/mouse.

Apple doesn’t innovate any longer, though. So no… It’s not perfect for them.
