Well, yes, it is well and truly a "first world problem" - but if I pay well over the odds for luxury premium-branded goods who's makers like to brag about their world class design and innovation skills I absolutely do expect them to solve my first world problems!I really don’t see how recharging can be disruptive or inconvenient.
If I wanted to be economical with my mousing needs, I think I've still got a wired MS Intellimouse from the 1990s in a cupboard somewhere and I'm pretty sure it still works - and I'd rather use that than any mouse Apple have ever made.
