In my asklemmy post (here: https://lemmy.world/post/20013379) I asked if anybody could help me because the mouse just does not glide well on my mousepad, while the 10 year old gaming mouse does glide.
The answers were pretty good and something I looked into. Then, I was just like "what if…" and put regular tape on the mouse, just to test it… and… it glides!
Akshualy, in between the magic mouse and the hockey puck was the mighty mouse. The almost ergonomic one with the 360 degree scroll ball that always failed because the white plastic around it scraped the gunk and dead skin cells off your finger and gummed up the scroll sensor.
Eta: if they made the mighty mouse touch sensitive like the magic mouse and removed the ball, they'd have room to put a charge port on the front and get those side grip buttons too. Only down side would be the height/thickness that makes it ergonomic in the first place
You're correct, I skipped over the Mighty Mouse. Those scroll balls were the original fidget toy.
