Friendly reminder that Halo was a Mac game first, before Microsoft bought Bungie to prevent Apple from ever having the appearance of competence.

Microsoft didn't even need to do that, Apple has become more than happy to show how incompetent they are. Behold:

Even aside from the objectively bad charging port, the shape is also awful and unergonomic. And next to a touch-based scrollwheel, it also has no right-click.

It has right click, you just have to take your index finger off the mouse. Also the original version has replaceable AA batteries which I strongly prefer to rechargeable

I agree. I basically got carpal tunnel from this model. Had to learn to hover a part of my hand over it whenever I was using it, instead of cupping my palm down like the design would imply.

That’s how you charge the Apple Mouse. They intentionally designed it so you couldn’t use it while it was charging, because Steve Jobs demanded a cord-free desk. He hated the cords leading to his mouse and keyboard, and didn’t think devices should stay plugged in all the time. So he forced the engineers to design a mouse that couldn’t stay plugged in.

It really is the epitome of Apple’s “I know better than you” design philosophy

The Apple mouse, charging

The charging port is under the mouse, which makes it so that you can't use while it is charging

Great design !

The design goal was to avoid people just leaving it plugged in because that is more convenient and that then showing up on photos. Can't have something as trivial as real life day to day usability ruin your image of minimalism.
