It's funny how these pretty, but disastorous from usability perspecive, mice get this much attention where really excelent products like Logitech's MX Master series isn't even known by the geeks singing praises to Apple.
The MX Series is heavily advertised and omni-present on the internet. I’m not sure that I would say it’s a little-known or obscure mouse.
It appears in the top results on Google for “buy mouse”. The Apple mouse does not appear for me at all.
It also appears in the top YouTube results for “buy mouse”. I only thought I would add this tidbit because I found it fairly disappointing that the MX Master series (which I am not a fan of) was basically the only result that appeared when searching for a mouse. It was disappointing to see how little competition there seemed to be in the space.
My only qualm with the MX Master S2 was poor Linux support. Everything else grew on me.
I'm not really embarrassed to admit that I didn't know how to use my Magic Mouse for the first year I had it. The first generation was lighter, and my skin didn't slide due to the texture of the glass so I didn't even realize it was touch. I still scroll from the touchpad with my left hand or use hotkeys.
My MX does everything I want under KDE. About 2 years ago the ability to tell me (and warn me) about my mouse battery level just appeared. It was quite nice to have an update that brought changes you wanted.
It's a tired meme that Apple users simply aren't aware of the wider world outside of whatever Apple makes. Many people choose them over what others might call "really excellent" because they value things that you don't.
