Having used Apple computers since the Apple II+, I think I'm allowed to say that the vast majority of Apple's mouse designs have been utter trash. The one that I might give a pass to is the ADB Mouse 2. I'm not expecting Apple to change the habit of a lifetime by designing a comfortable mouse.
Apple IIe>Macintosh SE>Performa>iMac (dumb hockey puck mouse)>G3>G4>…(a bunch of PowerBooks & Macbooks)
The SE mouse felt good to hold and click, but don’t forget cleaning out hand goo from the mouse ball. Optical mice were a game changer, so much better, that I used an MS Intellimouse as soon as it was USB. Had the AA powered Magic Mouse with my last iMac Once the trackpad in the MacBooks got glass and big, I mostly stopped using mice.
Touchpads are now a necessity for my work (as a graphics/3D cad/lite full-stack dev).
I love the Magic Trackpad and I use it with Linux. Not sure that counts.
Totally valid, I love Apple trackpads, makes PC laptop trackpads pale in comparison
