Hmm. One could always extend a finger or two to feel where the 
cord was. And after the first generation of the 'puck' mouse, 
there was an indent on the front of the button to help orient 
it. At any rate, having used several of them over the years, I 
never really experienced this problem that so many people 
complain about so vocally with this mouse. I certainly won't say 
it's the best mouse I've used, but I did find it to be usable.

It fit the design 'look' of the iMac. I'd guess that someone 
made allowances.
