Even aside from the objectively bad charging port, the shape is also awful and unergonomic. And next to a touch-based scrollwheel, it also has no right-click.
It has right click, you just have to take your index finger off the mouse. Also the original version has replaceable AA batteries which I strongly prefer to rechargeable
I agree. I basically got carpal tunnel from this model. Had to learn to hover a part of my hand over it whenever I was using it, instead of cupping my palm down like the design would imply.
That’s how you charge the Apple Mouse. They intentionally designed it so you couldn’t use it while it was charging, because Steve Jobs demanded a cord-free desk.

It really is the epitome of Apple’s “I know better than you” design philosophy
Friendly reminder that Halo was a Mac game first, before Microsoft bought Bungie to prevent Apple from ever having the appearance of competence.
Microsoft didn’t even need to do that, Apple has become more than happy to show how incompetent they are. Behold:

What even is that?
The Apple mouse, charging
The charging port is under the mouse, which makes it so that you can’t use while it is charging
Great design !
