Or get a normal mouse you can use while charging for 15 mins and then have a month of battery. Or charge for 2hrs while using and have six months of battery.
Or buy two of these mice, so you always have a charged one waiting. (This comment was sponsored by Apple)
Had me in the first half
Or get a wired mouse and it works forever
Or get a wireless mouse that charges through the mousepad and it works forever while not having wires connect to your mouse.
Or charge the mouse pad with a tesla coil to charge your wireless mouse so your mouse pad stays charged forever.
Dragging the mouse cord across the desk is annoying though, and mouse bungees don't fix the problem entirely
What kind of heavy cable does your mouse use that you even notice it is attached?
If you use low mouse sensitivity it's very annoying
This is twenty twenty, everything is air gapped or you’re not relevant. Don’t look in my room.
Yeah same, $4 from kmart
A $4 mouse sucks tho.
At my desk, I agree. From my sofa, not so much
Here’s the thing about that though. The one thing the Magic Mouse does really well, is smooth scrolling. Apple makes it so no other mouse can do that since they control the software. So despite all the other issues it has, if you want their buttery smooth scrolling you have to use the Magic Mouse. And Apple shills will refuse to go without it, thus Apple makes bank off their otherwise shitty mouse.
The only solution to this is a sea change where people stop buying apple products purely out of brand loyalty, which will probably never happen because they do make enough genuinely good products to keep people from losing faith, like the M1/2/3 laptops.
Actually, there is software for OSX to do that, works quite well.
