They should have just released a mouse pad that can charge the mouse wirelessly then.
$7.000
If I worked at Apple, I’d hire you right here, right now.
im surprised they haven’t done this tbh
Apparently Logitech does have this out now, so I wonder if they patented the "concept" and it will be another 20 years before anyone can do it. Assuming that someone else didn't already do it 20 years ago and that patented already ran out.
Ive seen one at least 10 years ago already. But that didn't exactly charge the mouse, instead the mouse relied on always being on the pad to work.
That's not true. It charges very slowly, about 12 hours to charge a completely dead battery, but it does charge
The bigger problem is that it's expensive af, and since current gen Logitech mice have months of battery life and charge in an hour with the usb cord it's really pointless.
I think Sun made mice that didn't work without their metallic mouse pad, that had some sort of grid on it.
Apple's problem is in following:
There are industrial designers, fashion designers, managers and engineers.
Apple doesn't have industrial designers. Only fashion designers pretending.
In a normal company managers consult designers and engineers back and forth, both figuring out some compromise and also asking the other group whether there is a better way.
Not in Apple. Their designers are clearly superior hierarchically to engineers.
And in the end their products are of inferior quality (for that price).
Apple's idea of how things should look and work, when expressed in words, is absolutely fine! It's actually wonderful. And perfectly possible, it's actually the same goal as with industrial ergonomics.
Except they don't have the process they need to fulfill that. They only have the PR to pretend.
