And having cables you can put in either way is a better approach. > There have certainly been worse mice from Apple and other makers.

They have not made a decent mouse in a long, long time. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again. <https://youtu.be/H4NW-Cqh308>
