> make a mouse you can't use while charging it
I'm not one to usually defend Apple-ism, but it always felt that this was such a nothing-burger. The mouse charges in like fifteen minutes and lasts for weeks. I don't have a work Macbook (or job :) ) right now, but when I did I would just occasionally plug it in while I went to the bathroom. It really was not nearly as annoying as everyone said it was.
Remember all those times you needed to make a change to something a few minutes before it was submitted/presented?
Imagine if you couldn't, because you needed to charge your mouse first.
