I wonder if this is more common among Linux users. If an application has good keyboard support, I’m ALL over that instead of using a mouse. That’s one reason web applications really annoy me, they usually have terrible keyboard support, or the browser shortcuts interfere.
Maybe detest is too strong a word. More like I prefer to avoid it if at all possible (unless it’s something like CAD or most gaming where the mouse is basically essential)
I use a keyboard with an inbuilt trackpoint. I never have to move my hands off the keyboard to use the mouse, it’s really amazing.
The worst input method is definitely a touchscreen, directly followed by Apple’s magic mouse and touchpads.
God damn, the Magic Mouse is the worst fucking idea ever, it’s like combining a touchpad with a mouse in the worst way possible. When I was a kid, our family computer only had a Magic Mouse and I can’t count the number of times I made a misinput, scrolled too far, or had to stop using the computer until the mouse could charge
i loved the magic mouse. macos is so gesture-driven that having gesture control on a normal mouse felt like having a macro pad.
Absolutely! I was forced to work on a Mac with a Magic mouse at my first job. There was no place for my fingers to rest comfortably. I had to hover them above the mouse or otherwise the thing would always detect inputs I didn’t want.
Combined with its minimal height, it gave me quite a lot of pain. I don’t know how people can work with this atrocity.
The charging is a meme at this point, it’s really absurd. Thank god I don’t work for a boss who’s an Apple cultist anymore.
I even tried to use the mouse while it was charging by hanging half of it off the desk but apparently they made it just turn off while charging
