I have a rechargeable mouse from a no-name Chinese company, and they put the port at the nose of the mouse. It works like a wired mouse when plugged in and charging.

How has Apple not figured this out?

They have, it is especially designed to not work that way because then a lot of people would just leave it plugged in. And Apple hates that this would look like a wired mouse.

But yes that has not stopped them from doing it right on the keyboard.

Who leaves their wireless mouse plugged in?

I do. Don't really need a wireless mouse on my desktop PC. It's not going anywhere :)

Do you not get annoyed by the cord?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Not usually. Only if I have too much crap on my desk and it catches on something, but that's easy to fix.
