Maybe the next mouse's usb port will just be placed on the left mouse button.
How to say you’ve never used an Apple mouse without saying you’ve never used an Apple mouse.
At least I can use my mouse while it's charging. Can you do that with yours?
If that’s the hill you want to die on…
As an owner of a few apple magic mice and two of the giant trackpads, fuck everything about placing the charging port on the UNDERSIDE OF THE MOUSE. apple, there is a perfectly good location for the port. Front towards pc. Period. Put a usb-c cable there and let me use it while charging.
I actually prefer the older ones that run on AAs for my print room mac.
All that being said, razer naga pro for gaming. Loads of buttons, lots of macros.
Still have one of those, but I prefer the lightning one - to each their own. The plug in the front would work, but occasionally checking on battery status makes either location moot. When you see it’s at 25% or so, just plug it in before bed.
To me, this argument is less about the connector placement and more about users not watching over or caring about their tools.
If your lithium batteries run down below 10%, you’re damaging the batteries and they’ll reduce their possible SOC. It’s just like an EV in that way.
I prefer to leave it plugged in when the lithium battery inevitably dies, since replacement is annoying and difficult.
I leave my trackpad plugged in for the same reason. I need my mouse to not be another device that needs babysitting.
Yes, very much so. It's a critical feature for a mouse. The fact that you're choosing this hill tells me that you care more about a fruit logo than actual usability.
No, it means I check on the status of my batteries occasionally and plug it in at lunch (or overnight) to charge. It’s not the logo - I take care of my tools.
I mean, I’ve only been a web developer for 30 years and used these mice since they came out, so it’s not like I know what I’m talking about.
Oh wow, you're a web developer, must mean you're an expert on computers! I bet you can even improve the Linux kernel with that knowledge. /s
Yeah, no I'm not babysitting my devices. If my wireless mouse needs charging, it will alert me and I'll plug it in for a day while using it.
Stockholm syndrome is real, especially since you seem to refuse to use anything else.
