No, Apple CEO Tim Cook Didn't Say He Prefers Logitech's MX Master 3 Over the Magic Mouse

While the Logitech MX Master 3 is a terrific mouse for the Mac, reports claiming that Apple CEO Tim Cook prefers that mouse over the Magic Mouse are false.

Magic Mouse Next to Keyboard
The Wall Street Journal last month published an interview with Cook, in which he said he uses every Apple product every day. Soon after, The Verge's Wes Davis attempted to replicate using every Apple product in a single day. During that day, Davis said he mostly used the MX Master 3, but sometimes switched to a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad.

In other words, it was Davis who said he himself used a Logitech mouse, not Cook.

Unfortunately, The Mac Observer misinterpreted The Verge's article and ran a since-deleted story claiming that Cook prefers the MX Master 3 over the Magic Mouse. Mistakes happen, but the false claim has since gained traction on Reddit multiple times, so hopefully this helps to clear up the situation before wrong information continues to spread.

It would be great if Cook did use the MX Master 3, though. Maybe he would love using a mouse with a front-facing USB-C port so much that he would make the Magic Mouse's port finally not be on the bottom. Hey, we can dream!

I just want to say that the Magic Mouse is the most unergonomic mouse I've ever used.

I love Apple, but their mice have been terrible for as long as I can remember.

I mostly use the Magic Trackpad (or the trackpad on my MBP when I'm away from home so I don't really have a horse in this race, but a) the Magic Mouse is fine once you learn the gestures, which takes about a minute, and b) the charging port being on the bottom of the Magic Mouse is a non-issue that only people with small minds would take the time to complain about.

When you get the first message on-screen that the Magic Mouse battery is running low:

a. Make a mental note of this
b. Carry on as you were.
c. When you're done for the day, plug the Magic Mouse in to charge.
d. Go to bed when you normally do.
e. The next morning when you get up, unplug the Magic Mouse, and use normally for another 6-12 weeks.

Is this really that hard/inconvenient? Seriously?

Tim Cook seems to be affected by a Reality Distortion Field instead of being able to wield one.
