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!
I used to use the Magic Mouse gen 1 and opening the battery compartment was as easy as pressing down on a plastic “lever”. I never harmed my fingernails in any way in the process.
Other than that, there are clearly many better mice. Having to lift the finger from the left mouse button for it to register a right click is stupid.
