I mean it makes sense, the Pro 2’s JUST released a little while ago and some people will want to go full USB-C as soon as the iPhone does. In fact I’m a little impressed with Apple, we will see if the Keyboard and Mouse follow suit.
As an owner of a few apple magic mice and two of the giant trackpads, fuck everything about placing the charging port on the UNDERSIDE OF THE MOUSE. apple, there is a perfectly good location for the port. Front towards pc. Period. Put a usb-c cable there and let me use it while charging.
I actually prefer the older ones that run on AAs for my print room mac.
All that being said, razer naga pro for gaming. Loads of buttons, lots of macros.
Still have one of those, but I prefer the lightning one - to each their own. The plug in the front would work, but occasionally checking on battery status makes either location moot. When you see it’s at 25% or so, just plug it in before bed.
To me, this argument is less about the connector placement and more about users not watching over or caring about their tools.
If your lithium batteries run down below 10%, you’re damaging the batteries and they’ll reduce their possible SOC. It’s just like an EV in that way.

Maybe the next mouse’s usb port will just be placed on the left mouse button.
How to say you’ve never used an Apple mouse without saying you’ve never used an Apple mouse.
At least I can use my mouse while it’s charging. Can you do that with yours?
If that’s the hill you want to die on…

I prefer to leave it plugged in when the lithium battery inevitably dies, since replacement is annoying and difficult.
I leave my trackpad plugged in for the same reason. I need my mouse to not be another device that needs babysitting.
