MODERATORS
Allegedly Apple chose that design because they didn't want people to get the wrong idea by using their Apple mouse while it was charging and think it might be a wired mouse. Although they apparently get pretty good battery life at least.
The LG wireless mouse my work tossed at me gets like 3 months to the charge as a mouse that's used for mouse heavy work 40 hours a week, so I wouldn't be at all shocked if apple achieved similar (although the LG has a charging port where any wired mouse would have the wire go in, so you can actually use it while it charges like a normal mouse!)
Every single one in have ever used has had terrible battery life
I've had the same cheap Logitech M705 mouse at work for over 10 years. It takes two AA batteries that last for around two years with daily use. Cost $30 when I first got it.
They do still sell it but have cheaped out a bit over the years - the scrollwheel is now plastic instead of metal and the sensors aren't as good - but it still has that great battery life.
I don't understand how these newer, fancier mice can't achieve the same thing. I really hate that everything is moving towards built-in batteries. AAs are easy to instantly replace and I have a bunch of Eneloop rechargeable ones.
The mouse I was provided by work is an MX Anywhere 3S likely purchased around 2023, and I charge it maybe once a year? Infrequently enough that I honestly can't tell you. There is a very noticable improvement in quality from Logitech's ~$30 mice to this one, but the AA battery powered one it replaced lasted a good 3 months or more before it needed new batteries as well
Maybe I'll give that model a go if my current one ever dies.
I got an MX Master 3 as an upgrade, but couldn't get used to the weird scrolling behaviour (similar to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/logitech/comments/wpp1c6/logitech_mx_master_3s_scrollwheel_is_still/), so ended up returning it and reverting to the $30 one.
I have no idea how they fucked up that scroll wheel so badly. There's a setting you can change through logid to make it at least click while scrolling, but still!
They could, but what sells is faster polling rates, lower latency and maybe some arghgeebee
defeating which point? of using it conveniently? you know, without suddenly your mouse discharging and you not being able to use it until you charge it in unusable position?
