Apple’s mouse is so bad that Tim Cook prefers using a different brand for work.

In the world of sleek tech design, Apple’s Magic Mouse stands out for its minimalist aesthetic. But when it comes to practical use, even Apple CEO Tim Cook seems to admit that beauty doesn’t always equal functionality. His recent revelation about his preferred work setup has sparked discussions about the compromises Apple’s flagship mouse might bring to the table.

The latest version of Apple’s Magic Mouse is as polished as ever, now with USB-C charging. But its most infamous design quirk remains unchanged: the charging port is inconveniently located on the bottom of the device. This means that when the battery runs out, the mouse must be flipped over to recharge, rendering it completely unusable during that time.

While this design choice might align with Apple’s pursuit of seamless aesthetics, it’s a head-scratcher for anyone trying to maintain productivity. After all, who wants to pause work simply because their mouse needs to lie on its back for a recharge?

In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Tim Cook provided a glimpse into his daily workflow, listing several Apple devices he uses regularly: a Mac Studio, an iPhone 13 Pro Max, an iPad Pro, and even a retro iMac G4 for nostalgic flair. But when it came to the mouse he relies on the most, Cook admitted that his go-to is the Logitech MX Master 3 — not Apple’s Magic Mouse.
