In my asklemmy post (here: https://lemmy.world/post/20013379) I asked if anybody could help me because the mouse just does not glide well on my mousepad, while the 10 year old gaming mouse does glide.
The answers were pretty good and something I looked into. Then, I was just like “what if…” and put regular tape on the mouse, just to test it… and… it glides!
That the mouse that you cant use while you charge it?
The real answer is to
- throw away that garbage mouse
- never buy such shitty products again!
But it’s innovative!
I know it’s garbage, but its sole purpose is to be used by the left hand while the right is doing numpad stuff - and I’ve tried alternatives :(
Makes sense, just seems like such a pain to need to tape a mouse in order to use it lol
The edges of those slider bits can be pretty rough from the factory. If you want to skip the tape just slightly sand or file the corners of the mouse. Once they wear they get a bit smoother, but some gamer mice have some insane anti grip pads that have 0 traction, but the Apple ones have a bit even once worn in.
God I hate that mouse so much. It’s basically a testament to apple’s 2010’s design philosophy: make the worst products possible.
Am amazed at the immense usability flaws. From the company that puts out guidelines on How Things Should Be Done.
Fan of their hardware, but I just don’t get this one.
I got a mouse that doesn’t glide well but is really nice, I’ma try this.
EDIT: very slightly helped but made it 2x louder so I’ma just buy glass scates lol
Ever since the puck (and needing right click for some 3D modelling software - Ray Dream Studio), I’ve been using third party mice with any Apple computer I use. I had almost forgotten they even make mice.
Totally! I got my old mouse a profile set up to navigate the UI way better than the mouse itself.
