The mouse from my 2015 iMac has developed an annoying amount of slop and rattle, left to right / east to west between the acrylic upper part and the metal base.
It grates. Well, not so much grates as has an additional 'half-click' where you could really do without one.
During the last couple of weeks as this feature has made itself more prominent, my irritation has increased bigly.
I appreciate that it is a bit stone-in-the-shoe syndrome but, it is still in warranty. Just.
Today saw me return to Peter Jones and explain the issue to their after-sales bod.
He relieved me of my mouse, in order to consult a colleague.
Returning a few minutes later he showed me PJ's demo mouse saying 'This is our mouse. It is rattling and slopping just like your's'.
And indeed it was.
I resisted the temptation to point out to him that their mouse was as f*cked as mine, and they should return it to Apple for a replacement.
Instead, from my bag, I pulled out the mouse from my 2012 iMac and demonstrated to him how rock-solid it was, despite of an additional three years of regular use. I asked that my defective 2015 mouse be replaced with a new one under warranty, and he duly complied, pausing to ask whether I was entirely happy with the replacement mouse.
It was only later that the thought occurred to me that the 2012 magic mouse is not exactly the same as the 2015 magic mouse.
2015 is AFAIK magic mouse 2 or something.
So this exercise has shown that Apple's QC/Production quality in 2015, isn't quite the same as it was in 2012. Maybe.
Anyway, I haz a new mouse.
ETA: And I had a bowl of soup and some bread in Peter Jones' 6th floor restaurant which has views over London rooftops which can be filed under 'Mary Poppins'
