It has two 1000 dpi optical

This is the most tempting reason I’ve found to buy a Macbook. Instead of obscuring the Apple logo, this vinyl decal from the lildecalshop on etsy incorporates it into the design.

The Jelfin ball shaped mouse has a soft gel covering and has been designed with ergonomics and comfort in mind. I don’t know about you, but it doesn’t look very ergonomic to me. Although it might be soft to the touch, it seems like it would be uncomfortable to curl your hand over it. What
