    Have been using that mouse for almost a decade and this literally never has been an issue.

    If you really somehow manage to drain the battery to zero you can just plug it in for 5 minutes and it will work for the rest of the day. Fully charged it lasts for months.

    Complaining about the design it is a purley manufactured issue by people that never used one.

      So because of a dumb design decision that they could have easily avoided if they designed a good product, you lose 5 minutes of your time waiting on your peripheral to charge.

      You could just have bought a decent mouse and never had that issue, with no drawbacks in any other way, shape or form.

        Ironically, the only time in my adult life when not being able to use the mouse on my computer for 5 minutes would’ve been a major disruption to me was when I had a Mac.

        Good thing there is plenty of other mice available for people that can’t handle a simple charging routine.

          You mean literally every single other wireless mouse that you can buy.

          I’ve also used this mouse for many years, and it is infuriating when it dies and I have to stop what I’m doing and just… wait.

          No other mouse requires that I adhere to a “charging routine.” With other mice, I can just leave my desk. I don’t have to make sure I plug my mouse in before I leave work, otherwise risking getting out of the habit and then having my work interrupted by a hilarious (I know it’s hilarious because my coworkers laugh at me when it happens) design flaw.

          I fixed the problem though. I had a wired mouse tucked away that I could use for a day rather than do the 2 minute charging shuffle when my magic mouse died.

      Even if we put the charging issue aside for a minute (it’s still stupid) the mouse flipped upside down (and the mere fact that you are constantly reminded of it) looks objectively much worse than if there were a charging port visible on the upper side.
