> plus, whoever idiot designed the usb-at-the-bottom mouse
The batteries last so long in those mice, plus you can get an almost full day's charge in about two minutes. It takes a real idiot to run into issues with it. :)
I must be a real idiot then (which is very possibly the case, but I'm pretty sure not for disliking this design).
On top of the batteries starting dying much faster later on (the "last so long" thing is only true on the first 1-2 years), the warning is shown and dismissed far too easily, and far too late - and then they just die.
