What if it needs charging in middle of work?
Plug it in for, like, five minutes and go take a pee break. It’ll be good for about six hours.
That would be because you failed to charge it one of the 10 times it warned you the battery was low. It has exceptional battery life, easily goes a week or more on a single charge. Just plug it in periodically when you are ‘not’ working.
Why not put the changing port at a better spot? So the user don't need worry about it.
I’m not saying that wouldn’t be better, but i get the ‘ascetics’ may be the main goal. It’s a wireless mouse, intended to be used wirelessly.
I’m fine with the touchpad on my MacBook and really only use this if I’m like airplaying across the room. The charger on the bottom has never been a problem for me.
It has an off on switch and so when you switch it off, you could plug it in.
Is it the best mouse in the world? No. But it’s fine and the location of the port isn’t a deal breaker in my eyes.
I think you mean aesthetic not ascetic
Yep Ty
Thank you! It's a fine mouse, the battery lasts legitimately months of use, and it recharges enough to use for the day in a minute. People just like yelling about Apple.
My G Pro Superlight has a charge port on the front and I never use it while charging because it isn't pleasant to use that way, with tension from the cable. I just go pee and come back and it's charged plenty.
"you're holding it wrong"
How about "just" not putting the port on the bottom?
I’m not. I own it and rarely use it but it’s never dead, and periodically i plug it in. Very simple.
