    AirPods Max: can’t turn off without putting in case, can’t use wired, condensation death

      I’m ready for the downvotes but I still don’t understand the general hate for the Magic Mouse. Once every two weeks I let it charge for 30 minutes while I’m having a lunch break and never have to worry about it.

      How many times do you happen to need to charge your mouse and use it at the same time?

        In the same boat as you. When I did use a Magic Mouse I’d just plug it in when I got up to go to the bathroom or get a drink, and not every time either. Never had the battery run out.

        I stopped using it because the ergonomics don’t fit my hand very well.

        Nevermind the nonsensical charging port, that mouse is a great pick for those looking to suffer from carpal tunnel later in life.

      Can’t be used wired out of the box but do support Lightning to 3.5mm jack. Source: owner of AirPods Max who’s had them replaced 4 times now due to faults.

        mega ouch, soldier onward king

        do support Lightning to 3.5mm jack

        which, in true Apple style, aren’t included. meanwhile, the Sony equivalents I got come with a 3.5mm cable AND an adapter for airplane audio jacks

      Wait, the power switch is on the case? That’s so stupid.

      That is the very definition of form over function.

        No there is no power switch. It detects when it’s in the case and turns off. I think it turns off outside the case after a period of inactivity.
