        Many MANY other reasons, but the charging point location isn’t one of them and I’ll die on this “just plug it the frick in before you go to bed like once a week or so” hill. 🤣

          I have charged my wireless headset while wearing it like ~5x over almost 3 years of using it. Still, in those moments were for one reason or another (mostly me forgetting) it was discharged when I wanted to use it, it would have utterly sucked if I couldn’t wear it while plugged in. I simply had a cable dangling off like with a regular headset.

          There will come the time when you are sitting there with an empty mouse and can’t use your system while it charges … for absolutely no good reason

            I don’t use the mouse itself (it’s hell for my RSI) but do use the keyboard and trackpad. I just have a Lightning cable hooked up to the computer and maybe once a week I’ll plug it into one or the other before I go to bed.

            It’s really no different from a phone, smart watch, laptop, tablet, MPC Live, SMG with LiPO, Tesla Roadster, or anything else with batteries that die really quickly. Is the location of the port a dumb wank exercise in “design” over function? Yes, but the whole thing is and that’s the least of its problems. lol
