What should a mouse never compromise for extra features?

A mouse is used constantly, while meeting recording is occasional. That makes me think the core controls should come first: scrolling, comfort, and reliable tracking.

The AM60 explores this trade-off with a touch strip instead of a conventional scroll wheel, alongside built-in meeting and phone-call recording. I’m affiliated with the product, so this isn’t an independent review.

If an extra feature changes a control you use all day, what would it have to do exceptionally well to earn its place? Would you prioritize familiar scrolling, comfort, or having fewer separate devices?
