Not only that, if you engineer a way to be able to use the mouse while it is plugged in you find that the mouse is software locked to be unusable at all while charging.
Note, I am not defending the design, it’s stupid.
Lots of devices, this mouse included, charge very quickly at low charge. Another commentator said two minutes of charging yields two days of charge. Plug in your mouse, go get a cup of coffee, and when you’re back the mouse is fine.
I don’t doubt this. On a recent flight I realized I forgot to charge my noise cancelling headphones. I plugged them into my power bank for about five minutes before the plane took off and then they easily lasted the entire 2.5 hour flight. With plenty of charge left over.
If you want to get to 100% charge you have to wait a while so the battery doesn’t get damaged, but if you just want to use a device they can often charge pretty damn fast.
