      If I had a wireless mouse, I would prefer it to not have a built-in battery at all. Pop the batteries out, swap them for a pair of charged ones, put the old ones on a charger. That’s it.

        The best wireless mouse I have ever had, is it cheapo ThinkPad mouse with replaceable AA batteries. For some reason that I will never understand that thing lasts months on just two AA batteries, meanwhile my rechargeable mouse lasts 4 days in a single charge.

        My primary mouse is a wired (nice braided cable so it doesn’t get tangled) Mad Catz gaming mouse from 2010 because frankly it’s a mouse, so I don’t really care

          Logitech m330 with a single AA Ni-MH battery. Have been using the same battery for the last 4 months, wondering when will it die.

          I also have a smart charger for the batteries, so I can just keep them in there without the risk of damaging the batteries. The moment the battery dies, I’ll just take another one and swap it quicker than it would take me to find a usb-c charger.

      If you charge it while you go poop, you get hours of usage. It’s a dumb spot for a charger, but it’s not an issue with this house.

      How often are you charging? We use Razer DeathAdder Pro v3 Wirelesses at my house and we charge every couple weeks with daily use.

        the problem is less how often I have to charge my mouse and rather that I’m almost always using it and on top forgetting to charge overnight so there is no “convenient” time to charge it during the day where I’d not use it

          You would think they could add an induction charger and actually make it “magic”-ly charge.

      Logitech wireless mouse plus charging mat. Used for years never had to plug in. Amazing that not all other companies have similar tech yet
