@djlink And it only notifies of low battery when it has less than a work day’s left. Annoying.

Also, the Magic Mouse 1 (which was powered by a pair of AA batteries) had chronic firmware bugs that resulted in erratic behavior. Google Maps was impossible to use, it zoomed uncontrollably and drove me mad.

Before that the Mighty Mouse kept getting its scroller gunked up. Of course you couldn’t open it to clean it. It was welded shut.

@djlink Huh. We still have one of the ones with removable batteries.

Seems like that one might be worth a small fortune to those afflicted by the, er, upgrade?

@djlink good thing is that if you're doing anything remotely with 3D on your Mac you long have this mouse swapped out for something with a proper middle mouse button

@djlink when I first saw pictures of this, I thought it was a meme. I couldn't believe it

@djlink I’ve never met an apple mouse I liked.

Their Trackpads however are phenomenal and I’ve used them full time for over a decade. Thank whoever for letting me use the Magic Trackpad 2 plugged in. It works with a KVM switch flawlessly.
