I don’t think I’ve ever heard egregious used with a positive connotation. It looked out of place at first, but makes perfect sense etymologically. Thanks!

I actually can't decipher strstr's post. Is it in favor or against wireless mice? Is the battery life good or bad? Are they using the mouse plugged in to the charging cable constantly or not? I'm legitimately baffled and not trying to be a grammar police.


They use egregious in the "extraordinary" sense, meaning the battery life's great. Once it does need charging, it can still be used via the cable during charging.

I have to agree, specifically mice have been the least painful Bluetooth experience for me, with a Microsoft. Annoying part is that it changes MAC address when pairing, so regularly using it for more than one computer is a frustration but that's nothing compared to the constant interruptions I've had with keyboards and codec issues with headsets.
