I really hate the Magic Mouse, it’s the only mouse I’ve ever used that causes intense hand pain after only a few minutes of use. It has to be one of the least ergonomic designs for a mouse.

Interesting. For me it’s the best mouse I’ve ever used, and I’ve used _many_ mice. Most ergonomic, most accurate, best overall feeling.

My ex-boyfriend used to rant and rave about how great trackpads were, and while I wasn't opposed to them, I always thought he was being a bit full of himself. One day, I asked him about what mouse he had; lo and behold, he pulls a Magic Mouse out of the drawer. Suddenly I understood where he was coming from (it didn't help that he had arthritis, too).

It's exactly the opposite for me. All other mice are way too high for me, holding them feels weird, clicking and scrolling motions feel cramped, and it doesn't get better even after months of use (had to middle-click a lot last year). I seem to be holding the Magic Mouse in a way that doesn't cause my wrist to twist as far, halfway like a vertical mouse, which I think is part of the reason why it works so well for me. Can't do that with more conventional mice because their shape forces you to hold them in a certain way.

  yeah, you must have a hand shape that works well with it.

Some people seems to love it, the mouse being "flat", while I cant stand it and prefer something from Logitech and Microsoft which has more height. It is the same with butterfly keyboard. Some claims it is the best keyboard ever. While others hated it because it gives zero typing feedback and Key travel distance. Even on the new Magic Keyboard on 2021 MacBook still sucks for me. Adding a keyboard typing case / mat seems to help a bit. But 2015 MBP scissors keyboard is still so much better.

The Magic Mouse is the only mouse I've found that I can use for extended periods... So this might be less a problem of general ergonomics and more than no design is going to work everyone.
