> but the battery lasts for several weeks if not months; i

In my experience, this is exactly why it's an issue.

All my less tech savvy family who use this mouse forget to charge it because "it never needs charging" ... and then it runs out of juice whilst they are in the midst of something and now they can't use the mouse.

But MacOS warns you that the batteries are low several times before they run out.

macOS literally nags for days on end - easily an entire week - when the battery is running low before it actually runs out. It starts notifying when the battery level is 10%.

I have no idea how this is a problem for anyone.

The battery degrades.

My Magic Mouses battery only lasts for 5 to 10 minutes... if I could use it while plugged in I could still use it. As it is I can just toss it.

How long have you had it?

I don't know. I have several Magic mice, and I switched them between various computers often enough that I don't know which computer the broken one came with. The oldest one is probably from 2016.

I have several Magic Mice, including the one that still runs on the battery. I never had any of the batteries going bad - my oldest one is 5 years old at least still goes like a month on a charge.

>People who complain about the charge port on the bottom don't use the mice.

People who don't like pink bags don't buy pink bags.
