> would it truly be an Apple mouse if it didn't have at least one questionable design decision?

I don’t know if you consider a single button a questionable decision, but the ADB II mouse was as close to perfect as the technology was able to support when it was released.

their classic mice weren't horrible, but from the puck on the original imacs (so like 98ish?) and everything after has been absolutely horrible on ergonomics.

It's super clear that they don't view the traditional mouse as the intended interface to their system and expect you to use the trackpad.
