The gen 1 mouse had removable batteries connected to a door on the bottom.
The gen 2 mouse went with a rechargable battery, but they didn't want to retool the factories making the top shell, so they couldn't put the charging port anywhere other than the bottom part they were redesigning.
Just charge the mouse overnight when you're not using it. Also the charge cable disables the sensor so you can't fix this "design feature" by modifying the mouse. Why not buy the desktop trackpad if you really need an input device when your mouse is charging?
Or buy literally any other mouse that you can use while charging...
But my aesthetic!
Usability too. The hybrid touch/mouse combo hasn’t been implemented better elsewhere (as far as I’m aware) and I find touchpad functionality like that very good. I have to work on a windows laptop for work and I game on a windows machine, but my personal laptop was an $800 Mac and the touchpad and window management is leagues above my $1400 work Windows
