Does anyone know of a mouse that can be used wireless, with a replaceable battery and that can be connected to the PC via USB-C to recharge the battery? Obtainable in Europe.

The reasoning is that I do not want to get into the situation where I do not have a charged replacement battery at hand and am therefore unable to use the mouse.

Currently I am using a mouse without a replaceable battery which got so old that the battery only holds for 1-2 hours without being connected to the cable.

I know I could simply go with a wired mouse, however, I like the cleanliness of minimal cables on my desk. Thanks for suggestions.

    Thanks for the suggestion, the battery life seems nice but I am looking for that replaceable battery.

    The reasoning of a mouse looking disgusting does not really count for me, I try to keep my things clean. My current mouse is about 5 years old and still looks perfectly fine. Just its battery is giving up.

      Replaceable is good. I had the same recommendation for you, but I also know that some people complain about it dying on them because of a loose connector inside.

      Would you be able to do with a simpler wireless mouse that uses AA batteries? There are a lot of those, you could use rechargeable eneloop/Ikea batteries in them

        I have been using the Anker vertical mouse for 11 years. Just replaced my first one recently and bought my second. I use AAA rechargeable batteries that last months on end.

        There’s a company that makes a clone of this with a USB charging cable. It was OK, but I like what I have.

      Tried opening up your current one? Very easy usually and lion batteries just connect with a JBOD connection. Google the battery size and get new one from Aliexpress. It’s not rocket science!

      Then you’ll love your current mouse even more knowing you saved it from trash :)

      I’m currently replacing the right click button in my MX master 3S. 5 euro for 10 switches and a bit of solder. Not for everyone but batteries are much easier :)
