I imagine they also wanted to make 1 mouse ambidextrous. Maybe they should just tilt it and ask the user to choose handedness. I use a track ball and split keyboard and it has never been an issue no one can use my setup except me.

The constant need to have lithium ion is really terrible. Battery life is less of an issue when I can swap batteries quickly with common sizes.

Do you use an Apple mouse? It's not like you are frequently charging. Just plug it in while you go get a coffee or lunch and you are good for weeks. It displays a low charge warning in the menubar to alert you.

I found having to always keep a supply of batteries at hand was more inconvenient than just plugging in the mouse once in a while.
