I love a lot of Apple’s design, but there is one particular example that frustrates me often: the mouse that comes with the iMac Pro. It perfectly illustrates Jobs’ mantra that design isn’t just about looks.
The problem is that in order to produce the beautiful silhouette, they put the charging port on the bottom. I never seem to remember to charge the thing, so it’s always needing to be plugged-in. And then you can’t use.
What I find bonkers about this is that mice were wired for the majority of their existence, so it’s not like this was a hard one to figure out. They just chose to go with what looked nice.
It is pretty, though.

I now nudge it around a bit and then take my hand off to do the gestures on the top surface. Previously, I tried to continue holding it while doing gestures, and it's way too small for my hands. I still prefer the trackpad, but now the Magic Mouse feels usable.
