        So that when other people see that you’re using the mouse wirelessly, because apple cares about how others perceive your product that you bought, not you.

          I mean, Apple users care more about how they’re perceived using an Apple product rather than the cost-to-quality ratio of the product itself. Why wouldn’t Apple cater to that? It’s like printing money, and Apple users are so fucking cult-ish they fixate on things like green text messages.

            The best examples of that, is how apple made headphones that yellow, but only the part thats in your ear, so you see it, but nobody else does, and you get temped to buy new ones.

      The gen 1 mouse had removable batteries connected to a door on the bottom.

      The gen 2 mouse went with a rechargable battery, but they didn’t want to retool the factories making the top shell, so they couldn’t put the charging port anywhere other than the bottom part they were redesigning.

      Just charge the mouse overnight when you’re not using it. Also the charge cable disables the sensor so you can’t fix this “design feature” by modifying the mouse. Why not buy the desktop trackpad if you really need an input device when your mouse is charging?
