Does anyone know of a mouse that can be used wireless, with a replaceable battery and that can be connected to the PC via USB-C to recharge the battery? Obtainable in Europe.
The reasoning is that I do not want to get into the situation where I do not have a charged replacement battery at hand and am therefore unable to use the mouse.
Currently I am using a mouse without a replaceable battery which got so old that the battery only holds for 1-2 hours without being connected to the cable.
I know I could simply go with a wired mouse, however, I like the cleanliness of minimal cables on my desk. Thanks for suggestions.
For all their failings, Logitech master mice do tick most of your boxes.
I replaced the battery in my master 2 not long ago although I had to buy new skates for it it only took about 10 mins of work and the battery was a very basic, standard Li-ion, not custom hardware.
Not USB C to be fair but when you only have to charge it once a month or every 3 if you upgrade to a higher capacity battery is something I can live with personally.
I’ve owned three or four MX Master mice. That statement alone should show pretty clearly that it’s not a “buy it for live” device. I did manage to merge two broken ones into a working one recently, but I don’t expect it to survive another 10 years.
One of the major problems even if nothing technically breaks is the rubber coating getting greasy or sticky with time. This rubber coating is unfortunately also used in other logitech mice, especially the more expensive ones.
