Yeah. That's why all gamers prefer the touchpads when it matters. Because they are that good.

Did you check other people opinions, say, on Amazon? Have you ever seen people complaining about Logitech mice scrolling? Magic mouse is such an ergonomics disaster that nobody cares how well or badly it scrolls.
Exactly, even when they said, Mac OS was build with simplicity in mind, to me (CTR + Click) that's bs definition of simplicity.
Even die hard apple fans knows that 1 button mouse sucks.
I mean that add-on, the one to make apple mouse more ergonomic, that one increases the distance of the mouse so now your movement.
If they change the charging port, I will kind of miss the “dead mouse” placement of the MM charging port. It is a royal PITA to charge, but one of a few Apple design flaws that make me 😂.
Nobody but a bunch of Apple fans use the trackpads. Your notion of "rule" must be unique.
There was only one way. They were designing their products according to demand. Demands change but their goals remained the same.
As I said, you probably don't have what it takes to understand so you're not the crowd that would appreciate it.
Conversely, you’d need to drag my Magic Trackpad 2 (or whatever the latest version is) out of my cold, dead hands. I like it that much.
Yeah right, that's why you can find a gazillion trackpads over internet and just one or two mice 🤔
Im not bothered by the charging port placement, its not like I charge it every day, I charge it when I'm not using the Mac, and as for USB C I wont update just for that, neither will I update the keyboard as both have lighting at the keyboard end and mouse end but USB C at the end that plugs into the Mac so I have USB C for my charging needs, I'm not giving Apple any more money, also I got both in a deal from amazon original Apple in the box with braided cables so I'm happy, they do their job just fine. Also if there was a charging mat or whatever for the mouse I still cant use it while charging so dead mouse vs dying mouse makes no difference.
Unless, by "productivity", you mean running any type of 3D or CAD application, because trackpads in those apps (while sometimes "workable") is typically loads less productive than a multibutton mouse with scroll wheel.
True. Too bad the developers are reluctant on implementing gestures for trackpad. The Apple Maps app is a good example how trackpad can be useful when working in 3D environment. I wish all CAD apps would work with trackpad like Maps do.
I wouldn't mind a Bluetooth mouse that also had this type of screw in USBC cable for when I do want to use it as a wired mouse.

I'd love it if they made the USB-C mouse with literally no other changes other than the connector on the bottom being USB-C, and they introduced it during the keynote. Like, spend a whole minute or two with a little video and everything lol.
One more thing:
It comes in space grey, too!

That's the issue of that case (add-on), not the design. The manufacturer can easily move the sensor closer to the bottom (surface).
Yes the issue is the case, but that case is trying to get users that hate that design.
Apple won't do that, never ever in apple's history has created something ergonomic.
Two words that are apple antonyms are cheap and ergonomic.
