Summary

After several days, Daniel finds the €100 Magic Mouse’s cursor sluggish and acceleration inconsistent, often making the trackpad feel superior. On iPad Pro, missing four-finger app-switching and side-panel gestures make navigation cumbersome; occasional cursor and right-click failures require the trackpad. He dislikes loud clicks, palm movement, no silent tap, and underside charging; calls it overpriced versus €20 mice and may gift it.

Insight

Another expensive Apple purchase disappoints, reinforcing his preference for practical, familiar technology over novelty.
