it’s always the same comments rehashing the same old complaint when the real reason they designed it that way was to make you, the reader, mad

that’s right they hate you specifically

True, that's why I think Steve Jobs deserved to die of ligma

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 10 months ago

Who the hell is Steve Jobs?

Diss me via computer peripheral? I say thee: nay!

This must be a joke. That can't actually be how they designed it right?

[-] NounsAndWords@lemmy.world 40 points 10 months ago

They really didn't want you using it as a wired mouse. Because aesthetics.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Aesthetically this looks way dumber than a wired mouse.

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 9 points 10 months ago

So that when other people see that you're using the mouse wirelessly, because apple cares about how others perceive your product that you bought, not you.

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I mean, Apple users care more about how they're perceived using an Apple product rather than the cost-to-quality ratio of the product itself. Why wouldn't Apple cater to that? It's like printing money, and Apple users are so fucking cult-ish they fixate on things like green text messages.

You charge it like that for 15 minutes, and then you get a month of battery life. Odd design choice tho

[-] BenadrylChunderHatch@lemmy.world 52 points 10 months ago

Or get a normal mouse you can use while charging for 15 mins and then have a month of battery. Or charge for 2hrs while using and have six months of battery.

[-] Hyperreality@kbin.social 40 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Or buy two of these mice, so you always have a charged one waiting. (This comment was sponsored by Apple)

Had me in the first half

[-] tonyn@lemmy.ml 29 points 10 months ago

Or get a wired mouse and it works forever

[-] hightrix@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Or get a wireless mouse that charges through the mousepad and it works forever while not having wires connect to your mouse.

Wow, you're super early to the party.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

They must have thought that people would buy two to have one while the other charged

[-] speck@kbin.social 9 points 10 months ago
[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 32 points 10 months ago

Because it's hilariously bad design.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

Lemmy only knows how to be upset, so even "jokes" need to be upsetting

Still better than the Mighty Mouse.

And while we’re at it, the razer deathadder v2 x hyperspeed is hot garbage and disconnects so often in 2.4g mode, I just went back to a wired mouse.

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago

I made the mistake of buying a Razer Kiyo Pro webcam. Never again will I buy anything from Razer. Every time it's connected, it puts an installer on my hard drive unprompted and then tries to install its crapware. I've never seen a piece of hardware that puts an exe on your hard drive without user consent.

This has ruined my week - the mere thought that people actually brought this drives me insane.
