Or buy literally any other mouse that you can use while charging...

    Yup, I have a Logitech MX Master 3 at work and it works just fine while charging. Oh, and it has two real scroll wheels, a thumb button (great for switching workspaces), and is really comfortable to use. A magic mouse has none of those things.

    At home I have a Logitech Triathlon at home, which I actually like better. There's no horizontal scroll wheel, but the vertical scroll can tick side to side to get the same effect. It's smaller, uses AA batteries, is more convenient to switch devices (I have it connected to my Steam Deck and another laptop), and the thumb button is easier to press.

    I really don't like the magic mouse. To be honest, I also don't like my MacBook Pro, but I need it for work, so whatever. I guess I'm just not the target market.

    Usability too. The hybrid touch/mouse combo hasn’t been implemented better elsewhere (as far as I’m aware) and I find touchpad functionality like that very good. I have to work on a windows laptop for work and I game on a windows machine, but my personal laptop was an $800 Mac and the touchpad and window management is leagues above my $1400 work Windows
