You mean literally every single other wireless mouse that you can buy.

I've also used this mouse for many years, and it is infuriating when it dies and I have to stop what I'm doing and just... wait.

No other mouse requires that I adhere to a "charging routine." With other mice, I can just leave my desk. I don't have to make sure I plug my mouse in before I leave work, otherwise risking getting out of the habit and then having my work interrupted by a hilarious (I know it's hilarious because my coworkers laugh at me when it happens) design flaw.

I fixed the problem though. I had a wired mouse tucked away that I could use for a day rather than do the 2 minute charging shuffle when my magic mouse died.
