Zero people on the planet do this.

The mouse port thing is like a canary in the coal mine, betraying the people who just like taking shots at Apple, but generally are very ill informed. I think Apple should keep the port on the bottom purely so we can get the shortcut to discarding people's opinions when they hoist it up to concern troll.

For actual Apple Mouse users, charging is just the least concerning thing imaginable. The battery lasts an absolute eternity. I'm using one right now that I've had for at least five or so years and I charge it once in forever, it charges super quickly, and it's just not a factor in my life at all.

I'm one that does. I've got two MMs because I have a desktop iMac (27" 2019) and a laptop for travel and I have a MM for the laptop so that I can scroll using it in my hand while in a hotel room or when doing presentations.

So when I get the "low battery warning" on the desktop MM, I put it on charge and use the other one for an hour while it recharges.

One people on the planet do this.

I'd bought the laptop first, got the MM because it's small and good for travel and using the top as a trackpad/scroller.

Then I bought an iMac and the 2nd MM came with it.

I'm pretty sure that I'm not that unusual.

> I'd sooner believe it's because they want you to buy 2 of them, so you can charge one while using the other.

We're discussing in this context. I still stand by the claim that there are probably around zero people on the planet that bought a second MM specifically to use it while the other one is charging.

I'm not doubting that there exists a group of people that happen to have acquired two MMs, however that came to be.

I switched to using the trackpad full time, because the mouse randomly bricked itself unless I let it distract me about its state of charge and whether my only cable was at home or my office desk.

>"Zero people on the planet do this."

You cannot reasonably make this assertion and expect that it's true. I mean, you outed yourself right there as someone not capable of a reasonable discussion. Sort of a "canary in a coal mine" of your own.

I have never once had my Logitech mice run out of batter, not once, not ever. It charges as I use it. I'll take that all day long over the "magic mouse" with a charging port underneath so you can't even use the thing if it runs out of battery an an inopportune moment. But sure, go through the mental gymnastics of excusing a really bad design by Apple because you're an obvious fanboy.

[llm_nerd]

Yes, I can make that assertion. No one is buying a second magic mouse because of how it charges, and the claim is ludicrous nonsense.

>I have never once had my Logitech mice run out of batter, not once, not ever.

Okay?

I have never, ever had my magic mouse run out of battery, or even come close. Again, you have zero idea what you're talking about. You cannot comprehend how long the battery lasts, or how ridiculously quickly it charges. The time to make a cup of coffee is days of usage.

It is never actual Magic Mouse users complaining about this. Ever. It's always the peanut gallery leaving dumb comments.

Like, why in the world did you click into a story about new Apple products to yap about how you would never buy Apple products. Bizarre. I'm not a "fan boy" for the reality that the magic mouse is actually perfectly fine, and it doesn't make me a fan boy to point out the peanut gallery that appears in every single Apple store with uninformed, often absurd takes.

Cheers! Hope you have a great day.

>Yes, I can make that assertion.

Lol, no, someone just replied to you saying that they do this.

Okay?

>I have never, ever had my magic mouse run out of battery, or even come close.

The person that replied to you that they do this, has in fact had their magic mouse run out of battery, and they used the second one while the first one charges.

You're just wrong.

This conversation is boring and you're making assertions that aren't valid.

Have the day you deserve.

[llm_nerd]

>Lol, no, someone just replied to you saying that they do this.

Ignoring that I was clearly being rhetorical, they specifically note that they bought two mice because they have two Macs. The "I let one die when at home and use the other" is a consequence of that choice, not the other way around. This is super clear.

You literally, directly claimed that Apple is making a monetary choice to try to force people to buy second mice for when one dies. This is...hilarious conjecture, to put it politely.

>This conversation is boring and you're making assertions that aren't valid.

It is. The tiring noise of the Apple haters who define their personality by being Apple haters and run into every Apple conversation to make it known remains extremely boring.
