Thanks for the suggestion, the battery life seems nice but I am looking for that replaceable battery.
The reasoning of a mouse looking disgusting does not really count for me, I try to keep my things clean. My current mouse is about 5 years old and still looks perfectly fine. Just its battery is giving up.
Replaceable is good. I had the same recommendation for you, but I also know that some people complain about it dying on them because of a loose connector inside.
Would you be able to do with a simpler wireless mouse that uses AA batteries? There are a lot of those, you could use rechargeable eneloop/Ikea batteries in them
I have been using the Anker vertical mouse for 11 years. Just replaced my first one recently and bought my second. I use AAA rechargeable batteries that last months on end.
There's a company that makes a clone of this with a USB charging cable. It was OK, but I like what I have.
Tried opening up your current one? Very easy usually and lion batteries just connect with a JBOD connection. Google the battery size and get new one from Aliexpress. It's not rocket science!
Then you'll love your current mouse even more knowing you saved it from trash :)
I'm currently replacing the right click button in my MX master 3S. 5 euro for 10 switches and a bit of solder. Not for everyone but batteries are much easier :)
