The Apple Pro Mouse remains the most beautiful mouse ever made. I miss when electronics had more personality. Now companies just slap gaudy RGB on everything and call it a day.

No offense but these things are horrendous to use. The mouse design has been largely perfected(and it ain't this design), what else is there to do besides add RGB to stand out?

Completely ass to use. Form over function is bad.

It sure was purdy though.

One of the better examples of form over function. I really disliked actually using this mouse whenever I had to.

still better than the hockey puck nonsense it replaced.

It was certainly striking looking, as was the computers it matched with. I can't say I enjoyed using them, though. I don't mind the single button but the ergonomics were poor and hurt my hand after long sessions.

Apple has never made a mouse that didn’t suck. Fight me.

(Their trackpads tho, glorious)

sensel is gonna change that, hopefully.

Seems like Apple mice have always been form over function.

And then they created the Magic Mouse, the biggest turd ever created in the history of mice.

Apple fought hard against two-button mouse if I recall correctly.
