Counterpoint.

The number of people that defend this obvious design flaw/slight is incredible.

I don’t think anyone actually thinks this is a good design, but there are people who will say that the 2 min fast charge time is a manageable frustration. But it is a frustration.

My bigger gripe is the ergonomics, or lack thereof. I don’t understand people who like the feel of that mouse.

I do not believe Apple has ever made a good mouse. Maybe that’s why they were so gung ho on touch input devices

Yeah, everything beyond the first mouse is famous for lacking at least one critical thing. For a company that invests so much in industrial design talent, the fact that they can’t make a damn mouse is hilarious.

That said, their trackpads have always been some of the best in the industry.
