You charge it like that for 15 minutes, and then you get a month of battery life. Odd design choice tho
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
it’s always the same comments rehashing the same old complaint when the real reason they designed it that way was to make you, the reader, mad
that’s right they hate you specifically
True, that’s why I think Steve Jobs deserved to die of ligma
Who the hell is Steve Jobs?
Tim Apple’s father
This must be a joke. That can’t actually be how they designed it right?
They really didn’t want you using it as a wired mouse. Because aesthetics.
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?
Or buy literally any other mouse that you can use while charging…
But my aesthetic!
Why is this in /funny??
Because it’s hilariously bad design.
