How would that port be any more or less visible than the charging port on the wireless keyboard?
Got a tip for us?

No, Apple CEO Tim Cook Didn't Say He Prefers Logitech's MX Master 3 Over the Magic Mouse

I only want to know if "multitouch" gestures are supported by the MX Master, as in, is there a way to do all the zooming and stuff that I'm really used to doing with the trackpad. I'm not really opposed to getting a magic mouse but considering is practically the same price as the MX Master in Mexico...
Interesting. I fixed mine by using an MX Veritical Mouse
God I love the MX Vertical. It's so comfortable to hold and use! Shame Logitech insists on using that rubberized soft-touch coating that turns to gunk though.
I'm in a similar boat. I use a Magic Mouse while working all day with no pain, but I had wrist pain within a day when I tried an MX Master. My hand just doesn't like traditional mice that are designed to have my palm rest on the body of the mouse. I have a G502X on my gaming PC and I love the button layout for gaming, but I have to watch the amount of gaming I do. I'm also very careful with wrist/arm support in my gaming setup.
The only thing I would consider trying for work if I had future problems would be a vertical mouse. After the MX Master failure I came to the realization that the Magic Mouse is clearly ergonomic for me and the touchpad feature set is untouchable by any other mouse on MacOS.
The best charging option for the Magic Mouse (old version) was the Mobee wireless charging pad. Use the mouse all day, plop on the pad when you're done, and it's ready the next morning.
As for mice, I finally gave up on the Magic Mouse and very much like my Logitec Anywhere 3S. I've also given up on the Apple keyboards, as they are just too finicky, and I've switched to the Logitec MX Keys Mac keyboard. It's one of the best keyboards I've used since I started using a computer in 1974 with an ASR-33 teletype for a PDP-8. Damn, that makes me feel old.

That's great that it's ambidextrous. That doesn't change the fact that it is compromised due to that pursuit. It ends up serving both left-handers and right-handers more poorly as a result.
Whoa. How long did it take you to get used to that? I've heard those vertical mice are significantly more ergonomic because that's the "default" position for your wrist. You're actually having to twist your wrist to lay it flat on a table like with traditional mice.
Indeed. Actually I searched as well and there are plenty of photos of the Magic Trackpad on his desk, which makes sense.
So you're pretty happy with that keyboard? I've been eyeing that one. I currently use a mechanical keyboard that I'm pretty happy with, but have considered going back to a chiclet style.
Haha. I'm glad I was able to sacrifice the health of my carpal tunnel for Mother Earth. 👍🏻
Looks like I was right that people who hate the Magic Mouse and who like so-called "ergonomic" Logitech mice really just want a flightstick. Look at that absurdity.
Many of the replies in this thread would suggest otherwise. We're all just different.
I love the Magic Mouse. Been using one for about 11 years. I think it’s basically perfect. Mine runs on AA batteries.
I didn’t say anything about Excel being better than Numbers. (I don’t believe I even mention Numbers.)
I also didn’t say that SAP is better than Excel. It’s more nuanced than that.
Excel (and Numbers as well) has its uses and it’s great for those uses. But one of those uses is not as a replacement for an actual ERP like SAP.
A company the size of Apple has extremely complicated tax, accounting, compliance and regulatory requirements. And Excel (or Numbers) just wouldn’t be suitable for those requirements.
I bought and brought my own. When we started with laptops, I got one "identical" to the laptop keyboard.
I have the Apple KB and mouse and replaced it with the Logitech master 3s mouse MX keys and it’s far superior for me.
Have you tried one? I was skeptical too but it is supremely comfortable. These days I find myself preferring trackpads for gestures and such, but I do occasionally miss the Vertical.
I LOVE MY MX MASTER 3S!!!! Best mouse I have ever used. Completely understandable if Cook had used it. I'm even using it right now! I love, love, love the mouse. If it wasn't apparent from my enthusiasm lol
I absolutely agree. Using a mouse like that is a capital sin and should cost any user every ounce of Apple fan cred. Such a user should immediately be forced to remove any and all Apple stickers they may have on their car, laptop, or any other personal property and must immediately donate all of their "Think Different" posters to Max Tech so that it can be distributed only to proper Mac users. How dare someone sully their workflow with such an ugly piece of input device just because they'd rather go through life without an RSI.
and then the lightning cables that Apple shipped by the billions get damaged while using the Magic Mouse plugged in. there goes that idea.
Typical internet - can't actually tell if an idiotic post like this is actually serious or just taking the piss.
It also faces away from you at an angle that you can't see it. In fact, nobody can see it. Like here, here's my mouse from my normal perspective (MX Master 2s, same but different). Do you see the port on it? Because I don't.
Here's the same mouse when viewed from the front.
Damn that invisible port sure be ugly, don't it?
The Magic Mouse is peak Apple - that I will absolutely agree with you on. In fact, it might just be the best mouse Apple has ever designed. But that's kind of like saying that the Cybertruck is the best pickup truck Tesla ever designed.
When it comes to the one thing Logitech does far, far better than Apple - designing mice? Uhm, yes. Yes please.
Well you're in luck, Chuck! Obsoive!
See? All that nice mousy goodness and my wrist sitting nice and comfy on the desktop.
Well, it may be good for some but there's no doubt most mice out there, especially in that price range, look much more like they've been designed with a real human hand in mind and not some ideal of pure abstract symmetrical design. It is a form-over-function object.
A fixed scroll wheel is objectively inferior to a forgiving touch surface. Q.E.D.
