World-class designat WWDC, and we only learned about it because some
users went digging in the settings.
It works, yes, but Apple seemingly went out of its
way to make the experience unpleasant. To cite one
example, Apple won’t let you change the circular icon to
look something more like a proper mouse pointer. And
just to emphasize: it’s so determined to make mouse
support on an iPad look unattractive it inadvertently
calls attention to the deficiencies of the Magic Mouse
by not supporting its most basic touch gesture. I’d
almost find it funny if the Magic Mouse 2 didn’t cost
£79 (and £99 for the Space Grey version I have).
For that price, I expect to be able to use the same
device I use with my Mac with my iPad. I almost wantWorld-class design
