Yes, a mouse that can be charged and used simultaneously.

  Intentional design choice so that people wouldn't leave it charging. People leave the keebs/trackpads connected where I work and it's not uncommon to have them balloon up because of the spicy pillow. Though; it's obviously more about aesthetic than anything else... I would argue that the (genuinely ergonomically terrible mouse) does not need to have a charging port on the top due simply to the fact that you can get 30minutes of usable charge from less than 5s of charging time. If you really can't leave your mouse for 5s (from dead, despite plenty of warning) to use it for the next 30 minutes then likely you have larger issues in your life.

And yet they don't care about people leaving their Magic Keyboards or Magic Trackpads plugged in, so I don't really buy it. > If you really can't leave your mouse for 5s (from dead, despite plenty of warning) to use it for the next 30 minutes then likely you have larger issues in your life. What a remarkably bad-faith attack line. I have two of these mice, both a few years old now. Aside from battery degradation they work fine but the battery degradation has also done away with the "plenty of warning" that the battery is low. One of them notifies me just before it dies, the other one often doesn't notify me at all. They also don't gain enough useful charge within a few seconds anymore either. I've been caught out with this right in the middle of doing something a few times and it would have been a complete non-issue if I could have just plugged the mouse in and kept working. Sure, I could replace the mice, but that doesn't stop it from being any less disappointing, nor does it stop it from being a silly design choice.
