I think it's probably totally usable once it finishes charging and you unplug the cord.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Meh. Would make a lot more sense to have the cord plugged in a way that a user can use it while charging

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

It's Apple so they probably have some kind of secret proprietary bullshit on it where it doesn't work right if you use it while it's charging.

But you are forced to wait until it is done charging.

A feature no other mouse has.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Well, that's Apple for you

[–] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Whoa! Stop making sense in an Apple hatefest!

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I didn't realize that that comment would be so divisive lol

It's a fad. It pops up at least twice a year.

IDK, I've used one and it really sucks. It's awkward to hold and the finger gestures are awkward to perform.

Just get a regular mouse or a big trackpad. I have an MX Master 3 at work and Triathlon M720 at home (I prefer the M720). I'm not a fan of Apple products generally, but the Logitech mice make it way more pleasant imo.

I pretty much only use Logitech mice. The few times I've used Apple stuff it felt like I was going to break it

I have a Microsoft Intellimouse Pro on my desktop, but other than that, Logitech seems to be pretty reliable. I did have bad luck with the g305 Lightning, so went for the Razer DeathAdder Mini for my wife.

My work mice have been solid though.
