It's not a forced dark pattern. Others are leaving out a lot of detail about the product design.
* The mouse supports fast charging - 2mins on the charger gives you all day use.
* A full charge will give you more than 2mo of battery life - nearly 3.
* In 24 months, you will have to put it on the charger between 6 and 8 times TOTAL.
With that context, the design makes perfect sense for a wireless mouse.
- jimmaswell 6y agoThis still sounds pointlessly inconvenient compared to a wired mouse, not to mention reliability and latency issues that come part and parcel with wireless peripherals. I tried a wireless keyboard once and every 10 minutes it would hang and repeat the last key I pressed for 10 seconds. How much better is the situation today?
- culopatin 6y agoIt is obviously not the case with all the wireless peripheral devices out there or they would not exist. Did you really believe that there is people out there putting up with keys being repeated randomly?
- jimmaswell 6y agoI'm sure it's better now, I just asked how much better.
- rblatz 6y agoI’m sorry you got downvoted for asking the question. But I guess it’s 100% better, that doesn’t happen and no one would tolerate that these days, they just work.
- yreg 6y agoImho indistinguishable, at least outside of gaming.
- MattRix 6y agoEven in professional gaming, wireless mice have become the standard.
- JimDabell 6y agoHow long ago was this? You make it sounds like you last tried wireless peripherals in the 90s, gave up, and never tried again. I started using Apple wireless peripherals over a decade ago and haven’t experienced anything like what you describe once. I remember PC peripherals doing that kind of thing in the 90s though, back before everything switched to Bluetooth and everything used proprietary IR dongles etc.
- jimmaswell 6y agoSome time in the early 2010s, but it was from a clearance store.
- MattRix 6y agoI’m not sure about keyboards, but as far as mice are concerned, wireless mice have become the standard for professional gamers.
