I love my Macs. I work on my machines 12 to 14 hours a day, but if I had to use a Mac keyboard and mouse, I’d have to go back to using PCs. How can Apple create the BEST computers and the absolute worst input devices?
When I came back to Macs in 2005 after using PCs for a couple of decades, I tried using a Mac keyboard and mouse. At the end of two weeks, the pain in my arms and hands was too severe… I ended up using Microsoft’s Natural keyboard and wireless mouse.
Apple’s input devices are torture for anyone who works at a computer all day.
There are many problems with the devices. As Apple, Your Mighty Mouse Sucks. Please Fix It. points out:
“Let’s go over the problems. First of all, the thing is shaped quite oddly. While it looks nice and can work for both left and right-handed users, people don’t have hands shaped like pebbles. There are a lot of natural contours on the insider of the hand, and the Mighty Mouse neglects them for a stylish look.”
Yes, please FIX your woeful input devices Apple… for goodness sake, if you can create wonderful computers and iPods and phones, why not a mouse and keyboard build for users, not for aesthetics?
