If they want to use it wired all the time then that's their choice, since then wireless must not be a strong selling point for them.

If any other mouse manufacturer came out with that bottom charge approach it'd be considered a dumb design.

Not to mention other wireless mouses have had docks or charging pads for years, so still a dumb design and all I hear are excuses for it.

I agree 100% - it's a stupid design. Just want to give a reason why apple is shoving it down the throats of their deciples

Yeah, but even the charging process seems so inelegant and crude visually compared to like the magnetic apple pencil charging. It's surprising it's an Apple design, since magnetic charging or some dock or mouse pad to have an excuse to up charge the product seems more the Apple way. Like if it didn't have the Apple logo I would never have guess it was an Apple designed product, but a knock off.

Logitech has their special mousepad that charges their (specific models) of wireless mice

I'm very surprised apple didn't make one, though I guess then there's a wire and they don't want any wires

I have an idea! Wireless mouse pad! The charging port is on the bottom though...
