I actually appreciate Logitech's mice that use a AA battery instead of a rechargeable one already put into the shell. Yes, a AA battery still produces some ewaste instead of a wired mouse, but if someone *really* wants a wireless mouse, I think a AA makes sense since you have to replace the battery anyway, and it's actually easy to do so unlike an MX Master or a G Pro mouse.

For gaming tho Apple mice are the worst, no matter how low u set the scrolling sensitivity, u will always place the wrong block in minecraft Also I’ve got to say the first gen magic mice and keyboard have one of the longest lasting battery usage in every product ever. A friend used a cheap knockoff mouse and burned through his savings on a real one in a few months just by the sheer amount of batteries it consumed compared to the original ones.

Sell your mouse, use the money to buy apple Magic Mouse gen 1 , optionally get for example artwizz’s rechargeable battery adapter with inductive charging , the tech has been out long before they released the gen 2 , so it wouldn’t have been smart for apple to make a product that’s fighting against an already established market with lots of cheap options But I do agree just having the charging port for gen 2 in the front would’ve been the smartest move

[@pfizerpricehike9747]

Sometimes when my gen1 gets empty I just use it on the charging pad , scrolling clicking and slight mouse movements will still work , and it charges fast enough that you can switch between charging and using it a while when needed, then putting it back on the charger. If you really need charge right now, you can also just throw in 2 double-A batteries, on which it will run for months with 8h/day use. Another benefit is, if the battery in your gen2 loses capacity over time, your mouse will get useless, while you can either just put in new AA’s , or buy new rechargeable AA’s or buy another rechargable battery insert for the mouse and keep using your inductive charging station forever The gen1 will not even become obsolete whenever no 3rd party products supporting it aren’t available anymore bc I don’t see (rechargeable) AA batteries out of production anytime soon The only problem is, most of these charging pads are usb-a , so depending on how new your Mac is you may need an adapter, but i guess if you’d Seriously use it u’d have on already , it’s not like usb-A isn’t used for anything else

@@crookedangle2062 Yes, but why not just give the ability to charge it for literally no extra cost? There are some (very few inded, but some) what ifs in which the two minutes are annoying, and when the battery is old it would be unusable compared to a mouse you could use always wired. It's just making it worse for no reason, however small the ammount of worseness is.

[@88porpoise]

Considering their history with mice (the insistence on one button for a decade too long, the round iMac mouse, this), I doubt it will be fixed without something even more terrible replacing it.

[@danfr]

My bet is on "they fix it by switching to magsafe" so the issue of having to charge it upside down is technically "gone". But you still can't actually use the mouse while it's charging.

[@Axeiaa]

@@danfr Nah, in true Apple fashion they'll sell you an accessory that solves the issue. A 'smart' mouse mat with a ton of coils that will detect where the mouse is and then just activate the one it's on. That way it works for one device and one device only preventing overheating issues. (Price tag of $320) I've made predictions before with the most stupid way possible to do things and been right. Let's hope this is not one of them.

[@lemonbrothers3462]

@@Axeiaa there are active mousepads already (namely from logitech) that don't use a ton of coils and don't cost a "fortune" (logitech powerplay is 120$, still very expensive but not 320$ expensive, maybe 150$ for apple since Apple tax > gamer tax)
