Apple’s mouse is so bad Tim Cook uses another brand at work (glassalmanac.com)

In the world of sleek product design, Apple’s Magic Mouse has long been praised for its minimalist beauty. But when it comes to day-to-day use, even the head of Apple himself seems to favor function over form. In a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse, Tim Cook revealed that his desk setup includes a mouse that isn’t even made by Apple—and honestly, it’s hard to blame him.

I own a Magic Mouse. It sits in a drawer.

For most stuff, I use a trackpad. Except on my Thinkpad, which I use with a Mighty Mouse, because non-Apple trackpads are so annoying.

In my opinion, the Mighty Mouse was one of the best mice Apple ever made. Four click zones and a trackball, and an optical tracking system. If I’m using a mouse, a cable is not an issue. And despite me having backup Mighty Mice in case mine fails, I’ve been using my current one with no issues since 2008.
