An engineer hacked Apple’s infamous Magic Mouse to make it more user-friendly, ergonomic, and overall less annoying. Ivan Kuleshov is the said engineer, and he has also hacked the Apple Mac Mini in the past to be powered over Ethernet.

So he took a magic mouse amd turned it into a regular mouse?
Because it cannot be used while charging, so remedied that oversight/built-in ridiculousness.
Definitely the latter. It wasn’t an oversight, because I guarantee you plenty of engineers were telling management how stupid that was. They did the same stupid bullshit with the Apple Pencil.
Stupid? Hold my beer while we put the charging port right on the bottom plate, so it doesn’t interrupt those clean beautiful lines while it lays on its side like a bloated dolphin.
It’s not an oversight, it’s a willful decision from Apple.
“We decided using our devices while charging ruins the magic of it all being wireless, etc. so we made the unilateral decision to stop you from doing that even if you don’t give a fuck (like a normal human) about it being wireless all the time, always. This is the way we already decided you need to use Apple products so that it feels ‘futuristic’ and all other opinions are objectively wrong.”
Apple is no better than Microsoft, they both love making decisions for you.
no, it’s still a shitty mouse. You can’t hold one button down and click the other (imaging trying to aim/shoot a rifle in CoD)
Last time I touched a magic mouse, it couldn’t register which finger was clicking if you just let your fingers rest naturally on the mouse. i.e. you had to lift the opposite finger off the mouse to click left/right. Have they fixed that?
Pretty much, but considering Apple’s proprietary hardware, I’d call that quite the accomplishment.
