    I have a rechargeable mouse from a no-name Chinese company, and they put the port at the nose of the mouse. It works like a wired mouse when plugged in and charging.

    How has Apple not figured this out?

    40 years since invention and outside of a few interesting edge cases like projectors, I still don’t understand the purpose of a wireless mouse. It sits next to your computer full time. Pay less, get more response, much more longevity, and go wired.

    It’s done intentionally. If you want a wired mouse, you can buy one of thousands of wired mice and use those. If you want a wireless mouse, it doesn’t need to and shouldn’t be plugged in while you are using it.

      I think this is a pretty obtuse take. Users obviously want their mouse to remain functional when the battery dies. It’s not a wireless vs wired mouse debate.

      The article you linked seems to disagree with your point:

      I’m not saying the Magic Mouse couldn’t be improved, or that should Apple ever release a third version, the charging solution shouldn’t be better.
