Sometimes, the multi-touch swipe functionality can be quite annoying due to the sensitivity of the mouse. For example, I could be trying to swipe left to exit a webpage but instead it is controlling a slider somewhere on the page. When I am editing text, I can't save the document because the swipe gesture on the mouse is unintentionally controlling another active window. I can somewhat live with this, but its annoying.

As for Apple's standard keyboards for Desktop Mac or PCs, I hope you have a lamp somewhere as they still don't have any keyboard backlight functionality. Even some third-party USB-C wireless mechanical keyboards have this and are much cheaper than Apple's keyboards.

Given Apple's typical expensive pricing with their keyboards, and the lack of a keyboard backlight, you might as well say you're left in the dark.

I learned how to touch-type about 25 years ago. Backlit keyboards are superfluous if you know where the buttons are.


Magic mouse is a nightmare on any site with a map, always zooming in/out when I don't intend to. Sensitivity is way too high.
