I loved the Apple Pro Mouse and the Apple Mouse back in the day because Apple finally capitulated and supposed a damn right mouse button. I have never understood the resistance to that — even on Mac trackpads since the 2000s, control click is still the default option. The first thing I do on any Apple machine is set it to recognize the lower right corner of the trackpad as the right pointer button. Or on a Magic Mouse 2, the right top region of the mouse.
The ergonomics old the Apple Mouse/Pro Mouse never really stood out to me, though I was a teenager when it was introduced and other than loving my Microsoft Natural Keyboard (that I sadly killed when a poorly-supported wax cup from a fast food restaurant leaked all over it...good lesson to 17 year old me), I was very much form over function as long as the basic function existed (which means the terrible Apple puck mouse and the Mighty Mouse were both dead to me).
I don’t know if I could or would want to use an old Apple Pro Mouse today but I definitely would like one on display next to a G4 iMac.
