cale-··on Apple's mouse is so bad that Tim Cook prefers using a different brand for work
Can anyone actually confirm what is claimed in this article: That in a recent interview in The Wall Street Journal Cook says he uses the Logitech MX Master 3.

In the interview with the Wall Street Journal [1] there's no mention of a Logitech mouse. The Verge has a seemingly satirical response [2] which contains: "I use an old iMac G4 as a third monitor just because. I mostly use a Logitech MX Master 3 but sometimes switch to a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad for funsies." which is attributed to the Verge author but not Cook. Nevertheless this is what is attributed to Cook in the parent article.

Even more amusing to me: the number of shocks men chose to give themselves had a mean value of 1.47 and a standard deviation of 1.46. This is after excluding one outlier who shocked himself 190 times [1].
