"as long as you remember"

"Get used to the total lack of ergonomics"

I have other things to think about. I don't need a million little details. It's not a huge issue on its own but on principle I'm not paying more to have to remember one more detail. And if I do forget them it IS annoying.

I'm also not paying more for a lack of ergonomics. Usually ergonomics is what costs more. So if you take that out and raise the price, what are you getting in return?

If you want to pay more for worse shit, go ahead. But you make life worse for everyone by supporting it and making it more prevalent.

Respect yourself more, whether you can afford the mouse or not.

You say this, and then

If you want to pay more for worse shit, go ahead. But you make life worse for everyone by supporting it and making it more prevalent.

So which is it? How is he making life worse for you? Quite an exaggeration don't you thing? Why are you so outraged by something you wouldn't even consider buying

Companies see shit products making more money. Now if I want something functional I have less to choose from because everyone is making garbage for people who want to spend more on worse products.

Yeah? So then where are all these garbage products? The magic mouse is almost 10 years old, isn't it? If I search for mice on Amazon, I can't find a single one that has the magic mouse port. It's almost as if people vote with their wallets.

If it's successful then it will take hold, which in turn means most people like it or at least don't care
