You charge it like that for 15 minutes, and then you get a month of battery life. Odd design choice tho
Or get a normal mouse you can use while charging for 15 mins and then have a month of battery. Or charge for 2hrs while using and have six months of battery.
Here’s the thing about that though. The one thing the Magic Mouse does really well, is smooth scrolling. Apple makes it so no other mouse can do that since they control the software. So despite all the other issues it has, if you want their buttery smooth scrolling you have to use the Magic Mouse. And Apple shills will refuse to go without it, thus Apple makes bank off their otherwise shitty mouse.
The only solution to this is a sea change where people stop buying apple products purely out of brand loyalty, which will probably never happen because they do make enough genuinely good products to keep people from losing faith, like the M1/2/3 laptops.
Actually, there is software for OSX to do that, works quite well.
