I mean, that's kind of the point. It's a tiny detail that nobody else would focus on, according to the narrative. Not that I think it matters myself.

Not that I think it matters myself.
- Demiurge 11y agoI'm not missing that point. What I find highly amusing is that no one I know, including myself, will be able to hold the mouse long enough to appreciate the new sound. I could be in an isolated world of DeathAdders and Zowie addicts, but this also includes my coworkers and parents.
- hoorayimhelping 11y agoI've worked with plenty of people who liked the Magic Mouse. I don't think it's a matter of missing the trees for the forest, I think you're just not who Apple worries about when they update the Magic Mouse. They typically make design decisions with an appreciation that not everyone will like it.
- Demiurge 11y agoYeah, I understand they choose symmetry and geometric simplicity over ergonomics, and the mouse isn't intended to fit into the hand and be comfortable to hold. It's still amusing that they tell everyone that the beautiful log is a perfect forest :)

My old Dell laptop's whine,[1] drove me insane in quiet rooms and was one reason I switched to Macs. [1] I think it had something to do with the PSU when the CPU throttled down to a lower-power state.
