Similarly, if a mouse doesn't support touch gestures I wouldn't consider buying it.
I guess we both make compromises: you never have gesture support, I maybe can't use the mouse for two minutes while I go make a coffee if I forget to charge it overnight once a month.

The first version of the Magic Mouse required you to change AA batteries, and its predecessor was a wired USB mouse. Not really sure how you think either of those is charging while you use it?
- hu3 2y agoGestures suck for me. I prefer many physical buttons for reliable macros :) But when it comes to charging, there's no reason to just happily accept and defend an inferior solution for no tradeoff whatsoever.
- stephenr 2y agoHere's a hint: the thing you clearly think is "inferior"... I don't even think about at all. It's literally a non issue that gets paraded out by people who don't use it at every opportunity.
- hu3 2y agoIt is inferior :) Sorry When my mouse starts blinking I just plug cable and continue whatever I'm doing and it's a solved problem. No second guessing if I can take a break now in the middle of a meeting, no unnecessary cognitive load, no need to remember to charge it when "I have the time", it's... magical. It just works.
- stephenr 2y agoPersonally I don't find it to be a particularly huge "cognitive load" to see a "mouse battery is low, charge soon" notification and then just charge it at the end of the day. But for those that do, it's great that we have choices.
