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

So you walk around all day with your hands curved into claw shapes? Weird.

Stand up. Now drop your arms to your side and just relax. Then look at your hands. Are your fingers resting in a straight position or are they slightly curved?

🤣 Well he probably should. I (we) have dealt with the MM for long enough. It's about time to focus on a mouse. Apple has the talent to make an OUTSTANDING mouse FFS.

Personally I love my Magic Mouse. Once you get used to the touch sensitivity much easier to scroll or flick to shift to a different window. However I do understand that others may prefer a third party mouse. YMMV

There is no way that Apple is using Excel for its global accounting, tax, compliance and regulatory requirements. Apple uses SAP (and/or other ERPs, but seemingly SAP primarily).

Both are probably being used extensively. While the ERP system is definitely going to be the basis for all those functions (and more, manufacturing, HR, payroll, project management, etc - all those are manged in the ERP as well), there is always the need for ad-hoc reporting and analysis where the ERP is typically the source of information which is then worked through various other tools, very, very often including Excel.

Also, regardless of the ERP being used, most financial reporting tools also tie in with Excel (some to a small, "export-only" degree, but also some do so very extensively).

I would honestly love to see Apple do their own take on an MX master. A “Magic Mouse Pro”.

It would mimic the power button on the M4 Mini and have the buttons on the bottom.

I just want to say that the Magic Mouse is the most unergonomic mouse I've ever used.

The magic mouse is optimized for cardboard usage/shipping expense, not ergonomics.

My Logitech mouse has its charge port in the front. When the battery goes flat I just mouse with a cable.

Based on the design of the MagicMouse I'd say Cook has never used a mouse in his life. Let alone used it for 8 hours a day, every day.

 

[pugxiwawa]

He doesn’t need to say it. Everyone knows MM is garbage.

 

[justmadeupname]

Still using my Magic Mouse from 2010 with the AA batteries. For me it fits my hand perfectly - love the smooth scrolling and gestures. When I get a Mx series Mac I will get a USB-C Magic Mouse.

 

[klasma]

He uses EVERY Apple product EVERY day??? Rrriiiggghhhttt…

All nine (9) current iPhones?
A base-spec iMac or two?
iCloud to sync and store his contacts and Notes? Esp. his business-critical ones?

It appears that Tim doesn’t use the Lightning to Headphone Jack Adapter every day anymore.

The MX Master 3 had unbearable latency on my Macs..

Via Bluetooth (I guess) or the 2.4 GHz dongle? The latter shouldn't give you any problems.

 

[turbineseaplane]

The Magic Mouse feels like it was designed to hurt your hand

 

[MacDaddyPanda]

Apple trackpad is world class. Mouse is world class garbage. I use mx master anywhere with all my macs in parallel with Magic Trackpad.

 

[krspkbl]

i believe Tim uses every Apple product at the office. Maybe he does use some at home but I don’t believe all he uses are Apple products.

My Logitech mouse is amazing. Imagine having to not use a mouse while it’s charging and sit it upside down lol. I swap the battery out which takes a couple seconds and I’m good.

Logitech make the best mice out there. Apple could learn a thing or two.

Stand up. Now drop your arms to your side and just relax. Then look at your hands. Are your fingers resting in a straight position or are they slightly curved?

They're slightly curved... EXACTLY like the curve of a Magic Mouse. That's why the MM is so comfortable.

And by comparsion, my Razer mouse I use for gaming (for the responsiveness) makes me feel like I'm sliding around an avocado.

 

[NufSaid]

Too bad. I love the Logitech. No hand pain. I also love the track pad.

I don't love the keyboard with the fingerprint for feel but I love the fingerprint reader allowing me to keep the macbook closed

MX Master 3 user here (standard, not 3S). Never had any issues with it. Been a brilliant servant for 5 years now.

 

[Spock]

I would be shocked if every single person at Apple used the Apple Mouse, they have to know that it is not the best.

 

[BornAgainMac]

Someone should ask Tim Cook which mouse he would prefer to charge when it is dead and they need the mouse to be functional while it charges.

 

[asdfjkl;]

It would be great if Cook did use the MX Master 3, though. Maybe he would love using a mouse with a front-facing USB-C port so much that he would make the Magic Mouse's port finally not be on the bottom. Hey, we can dream!

Yeah, we can only dream!

Someone should ask Tim Cook which mouse he would prefer to charge when it is dead and they need the mouse to be functional while it charges.

A quick charge that lasts a few minutes will allow the mouse to work for hours. He could even let it charge whilst making his coffee or visiting the bathroom.

 

[BrokenLimits]

I just don't know why anyone would use anything but the trackpad.

 

[dasmb]

I personally prefer the MX Anywhere…but the size, weight and shape of the Logitech mouse is so much more comfortable and the buttons and wheel are more productive than the gestures on a magic mouse. Battery life is incredible; yes, you can use the mouse while charging (though this impacts my performance and productivity and isn't an ideal use case) but more importantly I only need to charge about once a month.

Are there any 2 worse places on the technosphere besides The Verge and Reddit?
