      Not your point, but is is one for Ali… I was just fooling around with your exaggerated example.

      Different point is. It isn’t about the battery, it isn’t about the connector on the mouse. It is probably about the charging wire itself (my opinion). I think Apple deliberately choose for the standard charging wire they use for every other product they have (during the time of the launch of the mouse). It al comes down to parts supply management, where Apple is famous for. The choice is use what we have or design something new. They went for what the already got. A charging cable (and port) used for every device they shipped… a cable famous for being brittle, when connected to a device being physically in use.

      Imagine this cable being used on a mouse while in use. This would be a bigger issue than a “shitty port location”. People are deliberately forced not to use the brittle cable.

      … at the end of the day people who use this mouse seem not to have a problem with the charging choice made. People who don’t use the mouse seem to have more problems with this… and yes, it is a shitty mouse.

        With all the engineers at Apple, the could easily design a mouse with a port on the front and which can be used wired and wireless.

        I guess these engineers don’t know how to dedig this when it’s available on a cheap Chinese mouse.
