@inlinecoder i'm trying to figure out why someone would justify spending $20 more for the same functionality. i know why someone would buy this but I would love to hear their justification.
@inlinecoder@the_real_jw I just don't understand the Apple thought process here of charging more for the same thing…
Must be courage.
Apparently these came with the iMac Pro only and people were reselling these accessories for thousands of dollars on eBay… e.g. https://www.ebay.com/itm/iMac-Pr...
Wow, on principle I dislike how Apple plays of everyone’s lusts and has made it self the richest company in the history of the world.
Space gray lust for $20 more, they play off the weaklings who buy this.
The mouse is a fine example of Apple blindly relying on their "less is more" design principle. It's not very functional, it doesn't look good, and doesn't work very well. But it is very basic an minimalist -- if that is even a positive think anymore after 20 years of minimalism design at all costs at all times.
If you’re saying that Magic Mouse isn’t funtional you’re never used it to the extent when you start realizing how good is it: any direction scrolling, swipes, good battery, ... what else do you need?
Tho the ugliest thing about Magic Mouse is its charging port.
The keyboard with the numpad on the right is cancer.

You see, when you have a small keyboard like Magic Keyboard it can be perfectly centered in front of your, say iMac, and with it you can type on it with having a good posture, when your hands are held in a proper way. And, you have a mouse on the left\right. Also, it saves a lot of estate on your desk. Also, I hope you know nothing about RSI.
Now, let's take a look on a keyboard with the number on the side. I'm talking about the side on which you have both number + keyboard. It a keyboard is centered, you won't be able to hold your hands correctly without breaking your spine slowly. If it's not centered, you'll have to move mouse to the side even more, and each time you want to manipulate it, you'll have to do more basically. You'll have to sacrifice a free space.
Sorry, I can't attach an image that demonstrates the problem, I'm talking about, but if I'm not clear, let me know.
Not a big fan of grey apple accessories most of apples products as of late seem overly mass produced and over profited not much else left to say. They only upgrade here and there with a new feature or two. Haven’t seen much improvement even in those smaller details. Nada. Pot que? No cause it’s just how apple is updating new user tech. Big data is having. A lot of tech problems when overly mass production is occurring for profit
