Yes, but even that would change the aesthetic of the mouse when right-side up. Though yes, I like your suggestion

That's probably worse though. And yes I agree it is bad
Basically yes, while charging upside down is ugly I think they kinda accept it because it's not "while in use" (also there might have been some space or other design constraints, etc)
- lloeki 3y agoI think GP might have suggested a flush connection that would allow the mouse to stay flat and even operable while charging. In any case, given the thinness of Lightning, I still don't see how it would be impossibly ugly to have had such a connector at the top end of the mouse, turning it into a wired one during charge. The current Magic Mouse design is a compromised "plywood on the back of a chest of drawers" design. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/445621-when-you-re-a-carpenter-making-a-beautiful-chest-of-drawers https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/445621-when-you-re-a-carpen...
