The port has been there for nearly a decade.

    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!

          if you put one magic mouse on top of the other you almost get something you can hold in your palm so yeah definitely

      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.

        As an MX3 owner, I can confirm.

      Amazingly it’s not even the worst mouse they’ve ever made
