I just bought a new Mac and spent all of ten seconds looking at the "well-designed" Apple keyboard and mouse before buying the best third-party input devices I've ever had for less than half the cost. The Magic Mouse looks like it was build by someone who has never used a mouse in their life. The stupid little ball is so small it's basically impossible to scroll to boot.

Are you claiming to have just bought a new Mac with a Mighty Mouse?

Is there something wrong with using present tense to talk about a specific mouse design?

The "just" in the first sentence could be misinterpreted, but that's not the part you quoted...

The comment above looks a lot like the Mighty Mouse is the mouse they're referring to when they talk about the computer they "just" bought.

Yes, they're talking about an old mouse. "just" has multiple meanings. As far as I can tell they used "just" to mean "simply", not "recently". They "just" replaced the mouse quickly and decisively, many years ago.

We could be talking to someone still in 2009, perhaps we can help them navigate the next 10 years.

You're talking about the Mighty Mouse, which hasn't been included with Macs in practically a decade. Are you making up stories for some reason?
