270264, The Apple Magic Mouse: An overly polished turd.
Posted by Nopayne, Mon Mar-26-12 10:56 PM
I want to grind my Magic Mouse to dust and feed it to the idiot that designed it. It's simply a terrible piece of technology. The biggest problem is that they completely did away with functionality when they create it.

The ergonomics are terrible. I've lost count of how many times I've accidentally started to try to use it only to find out that I'm holding it upside down.

The polished surface makes the buttons/touch interface irritating to use. Today alone, I made over a dozen errant clicks because I was trying to right click and I ended up left clicking. There are no visual cues for where the touch region begins and ends. Relatedly, the scrolling interface has the same problem. It's impossible to tell where the magic line is where you can longer scroll a page by moving your finger across the surface.

What a piece of shit.
