I Finally Ditched Apple’s Keyboard and Mouse — Here’s What Happened
The Logitech MX Series Does What Apple Won’t
Many users assume that if it has an Apple logo and is hardware, it is the best of breed. I generally agree with this when it comes to Apple silicon and the current MacBook Pro laptops, Mac Mini, Studio, and iMac desktops, iPad, and iPhone hardware.
Even the low-end MacBook Neo with its binned iPhone 16 Pro chip is a marvel of engineering at its price point. And as I wrote here on Medium recently, the high-priced Apple Studio Displays are beautifully engineered with high-end features and are a delight to use.
However, there are a couple of small but important areas where I believe Apple should have done better and that have left me less than satisfied. Let’s just say that, in my opinion, they are not worthy of the Apple logo.
And these are not recent omissions; we’re talking about leaving these flawed products as they are for years, other than finally upgrading them from Lightning to USB cables, which I applaud Apple for doing even if under duress from the European Union.
