    Hey look I understand the annoyance but maybe apple is protecting consumers. Im no expert on this but have heard in tje past that its not good for the battery to use a device while its battery is charging.

    Yet I do this with chromebook often and the device two years later works like new. But that’s a Chromebook with an on average, bigger battery then most low cost phones/mouee.

      Modern devices have little logic chips determining how and when they charge. If it’s bad for the battery to keep charging when full it’s trivial to design it to just, not.

      not good for the battery to use a device while its battery is charging.

      Maybe because of the additional heat generation, but other than that there’s no real reason issue with doing this. Even the heat generation is a non-issue for a mouse.

      I’m told they did this to force people to use it wirelessly so they’d be impressed by it. Like for brand protection. No proof so could be made up

        On most androuid smartphones have charge port isat the bottom likely to discpurages usage while charging for battery health. The psp also had charger port in an unconfortqable spot that I remember.
