“Putting the USB-C port directly in the center of the base of the Magic Mouse is an example of Apple falling off this tightrope. With literally any other wireless mouse, plugging in a cable to charge it doesn’t directly impact your ability to use it — but in the vein of keeping things clean, you physically can’t use the Magic Mouse while it’s charging.”
Or, and let me point out how stupid this argument is, you buy a SECOND mouse and never worry about this again.

I bought a new iMac last year, replacing my 14 year old iMac. I wasn't wild about keyboard and mouse options were limited to rechargeable. I use the keyboard but the mouse is in a box somewhere. I just didn't like the function of it. Didn't use it long enough to need recharge.
