I don’t understand why this is so hard to understand. You’re supposed to stop using the mouse while it is charging, and use the mouse unplugged. That’s the purpose. It’s not a stupid decision, it just prevents some user’s preferred operation of using the mouse while it is charging

So, because money

I’m excited that this is already happening, and I expect this will be a common practice with used car packs. A pack can be worn enough to be impractical in a vehicle, and still function well as stationary storage.
