I knew “scary fast” had to mean some sort of processor bump for hardware, but I was secretly hoping they’d kill off the remaining Lightning ports on their keyboards, trackpads, and mice.

And I was hoping they’d finally redesign that god awful mouse. I don’t know how people live with that thing.

I think they want to force trackpads. I can’t even use a mouse anymore. Feels strange.

Whe I use my Mac I only ever use the track pad, it's amazing.

I'm a software developer and I'll still only use the track pad when working at my desk with my monitors.

Still need a mouse for gaming though on the gaming PC.

You mean an external one right? Or are you using a laptop track pad all day with multiple monitors?

Using the laptops track pad and multiple monitors (2 external + macbook)

I find short of the mythical programmer who never uses a mouse because they they know 100% of the hotkeys, it let's me keep my hands closer to the keyboard so I can move around and type quicker than going back and forth to the mouse.

The workflow is much less disruptive.

That’s you. I love the mouse as it is.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It’s me, but it’s also a LOT of other people. Those mice are famously hated by many.

They're indeed god awful. I prefer the Magic Trackpad over a mouse for Mac use.
