Mac OS has the ability for you to install drivers for any mouse, even wacom tablets and other exotic controllers…

Why not allow the same for Vision OS?


It all comes down to: "Yes, Apple does sell their own mouse, but it isn’t what everyone wants…" Some people are fine with the Apple mouse, but I like a couple more buttons and a scrollwheel… Someone might need a different controller due to ergonomic needs… Why not say Vision OS is a real OS, and allow people to choose and 3rd parties to make controllers for it?

We can wait for Apple to crawl to the cross.. Or Apple can say: Use any controller you want… AND avoid the whole issue all-together while garnering praise for interoperability.


I am not sure Vision OS will be taken seriously if it follows in the footsteps of iOS.. IF Apple wants it to succeed and avoid litigation as per iOS… Just make Vison OS a real OS like MacOS.
