I love my Magic Mouse, and have so since they came out. I have both the AA Battery version and the rechargeable one. I love the touch surface action and have grown very accustomed to it. It does however have some issues, especially the my Mac Mini 2018 with its well-documented Bluetooth issues. Weirdly however the Magic Keyboard seems to work just fine and dandy, and if it acts up I can use it wired with the lightning cable.

What I am looking for is a wired alternative to the Magic Mouse that retains the touch surface action. If Apple had put the Lightening Port on the forward edge where it should be I could just add a second Lightning cable and use it that way when it acts up and even just turn off Bluetooth altogether! I have a Logitech UltraThin and it is a great mouse but I use it on the PC and on the road, it is too small for my 4XL hand to use all day long.

Does anyone know of a decent touch-surface mouse that allows wired use or even uses RF instead of Bluetooth? I much prefer the touch surface to a trackball or roller.
