Does anyone know of a mouse that can be used wireless, with a replaceable battery and that can be connected to the PC via USB-C to recharge the battery? Obtainable in Europe.

The reasoning is that I do not want to get into the situation where I do not have a charged replacement battery at hand and am therefore unable to use the mouse.

Currently I am using a mouse without a replaceable battery which got so old that the battery only holds for 1-2 hours without being connected to the cable.

I know I could simply go with a wired mouse, however, I like the cleanliness of minimal cables on my desk. Thanks for suggestions.

I've been using a Logitech Trackball for many years - Ergo M575. It can connect via a dongle or bluetooth. Lasts for months on a single AA battery.

The beauty of a Trackball is it works anywhere - arm of a chair, on my leg, any table without a mouse pad.

Edit: sorry, the dongle is USB-A.
