    I read someone else musing that they must have thought that keeping it plugged in all the time would be bad, so the made it impossible to use the mouse while plugged in. Seems plausible. I suppose it would degrade the battery? Or the cord drag would be bad?

      The design forces the user to use it wirelessly. Apple just wants their products to look better, meaning NO CORDS EVER. It’s entirely about aesthetic.

      “But it looks bad and could be bad for the battery!”

      Every other wireless mouse has it in the front, Apple has no valid reason to leave it at the bottom.

        The fact that everyone hasn’t taken on this design trend just shows how stupid it is.

          They also take on stupid design trends, like removing the headphone jack.

          This one is just several degrees more stupid.
