    The complaints about this are ridiculous. Charge it before the battery runs out. It only takes like an hour to charge anyway. This has never been a problem for me and all of the years this has been out. 15 minutes will give you enough charge for an entire day’s worth of work.

    Just plug it in and go get some coffee for goodness sake.

      If there was a valid reason for why they couldn’t put the port on the side, maybe I’d agree. But literally the only reason the port is on the bottom is some designer at Apple decided they did not want to see pictures of people’s desks with cords on them, so the port got put on the bottom so no one can use the mouse while it charges, and there can never be a pic of their desk with a cord on it. Stupidest reason in the fucking world.

        Put the port on the side and your hand is touching it, and gunk from your fingers gets wedged into the port.

        Plus people would still complain about the cable awkwardly sticking out of the side. There’s no winning, people just want to complain.

          Damn near every other wireless (rechargeable) mouse has the port on the side furthest from you, like where the cord is traditionally connected to the mouse. I’ve never heard of anyone getting gunk wedged in the port there as a common problem.
