Mouse with USB-C and replaceable battery?
Mouse with USB-C and replaceable battery?
Does anyone know of a mouse that can be used wireless, with a replaceable battery and that can be connected to the PC via USB-C to recharge the battery? Obtainable in Europe.
The reasoning is that I do not want to get into the situation where I do not have a charged replacement battery at hand and am therefore unable to use the mouse.
Currently I am using a mouse without a replaceable battery which got so old that the battery only holds for 1-2 hours without being connected to the cable.
I know I could simply go with a wired mouse, however, I like the cleanliness of minimal cables on my desk. Thanks for suggestions.

Would you be ok with a mouse that takes AA batteries? Technically replaceable and lasts so long you’re only swapping batteries once or twice a year, Logitech G603 Lightspeed is an option and I love my Logitech G604 lightspeed that only takes one AA and lasts 4-6 months. If you got some rechargeable batteries that’s even better. Unfortunately neither are USB-C so it’s not a wired device at all, no ports on the mice in general.
You can also get rechargeable AA batteries. It might be better, since there isn't a cable, and you can charge one set of batteries, while using the other in the mouse.
I agree 100%, NiMH cells (the standard for rechargeable AA, AAA, I even have some AAAA for certain tablet styli) have gotten so cheap, they're sometimes cheaper than alkaline at first use! It's insane.
If you don't have a charger I've heard good things about the Ikea Stenkol one, cheap (5-12€ depending on country) but should be reliable. Ikea also sells the cells.
Ikea rechargeables batteries have been tested and are amongst the best, especially for the price

Good to know thanks!
