Apple USB Mouse (1998)

When you think of a bad Apple mouse design, you probably think about how you have to charge Apple’s Magic Mouse. But Apple produced an even worse design back in the ’90s. Enter the Apple USB Mouse. This little mouse looks like a hockey puck, and not many people liked this design. While it seems like an interesting idea, this rounded mouse presented more problems than regular mice.

The round, non-ergonomic shape made the Apple USB Mouse very uncomfortable to use. Not only that, but it tended to rotate when in use, and the cord was too small, which was also frustrating. Apple finally decided to get rid of this design when the company introduced the Apple Pro Mouse, also known as Apple Mouse, in the year 2000.
