Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Mouse with USB-C and replaceable battery? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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.

@BarHocker I guess you also want to use your mouse while charging, right?

Yes, that is right.

@BarHocker If you don't find one, as an alternative, you could buy a set of 4 rechargeable batteries and use and recharge them interchangeably, so you can always have a set of 2 spare batteries at hand when the other 2 get discharged.
