    I still think the Apple car project was abandoned because they couldn’t figure out a way to flip the car over for charging.

      Oh, they’d definitely figure it out: How about an optional ramp accessory, of course cryptographically coupled to the car for security reasons. And while we’re at it, why not place the engine start/stop button at the bottom? After all, if you’re trying to stop the engine you’re driving it wrong.

        I’m thinking a dongle of some kind.

        There would be only one physical port. The same port would be used for the physical key to open the car, the hood/trunk release and the charging connection. You’d need a separate dongle for each function.

    I still think apple users should have to strap the mouse to their head to charge for ever even considering this initial design acceptable and consuming it.

    Legitimately if they fix the ergonomics and the charging port it might actually not be a terrible choice. I keep the magic trackpad around for gestures whilst using my regular mouse

    I got a Mac and wanted the mouse. It is shit. It is the worst mouse I’ve ever had. It’s even worse than a $10 mouse with squeaky buttons. That thing cost 3 times as much as my 12 year old daily driver and even has less functions than my old mouse, even on Mac. My mouse has 5 extra buttons which I programmed to mimic the Mac specific actions and this old thing does more Apple only shit than the Apple mouse 2.

    I even fixed the Magic Mouse 2‘s feet myself. The original ones don’t glide at all, so I fixed it by covering the feet in regular cheap ass clear duct tape. Now it glides.

    I’ll never buy an apple mouse ever again.

    I like the keyboard though since it’s the only high quality membrane keyboard that’s not Logitech I could find.

      That looks like those sports cars in Back to the Future II with fake paneling and jacked rear tires that sticks their butts way in the air.
