Right to Repair

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.

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.

You're not going to get both a replaceable battery and a rechargeable mouse with charging cord.

You can get rechargable AA batteries that actually have a port on them. But you need to remove it to charge. Just keep a spare in your laptop bag

There actually ARE products out there that have both. E.g. "STREAM DESKTOP RECHARGE" bundle from Cherry can do both.

(Disclaimer: I work for Cherry, so I just happen tp know that product. But I am certain that there are other similar products from other brands as well.)
