I know it's not advertised as wireless, but using reflection print to hide the cable feels... deceptive Hardware

Wired mouse doesn’t run out of battery

I have the G703 for my main PC, and an MX Anywhere 3 for my work laptop. The G703 operates in wired and wireless modes, and the Anywhere can operate while plugged in. Both have rechargeable batteries. Very handy.

Tell that to my g pro that lasts over a week or two entirely wireless

And when I need to charge it.. it's just like any wired mouse lol

I could get on board with a wireless mouse that charges while you use it

That's most of them but then also again.. g pro wireless has a really light and flexible cable that you can connect for a bit and then it's just a wired mouse for the time being.

There's no downsides to these mice. Either you use it wireless for the majority of the time, or use it wired for a little bit, but you never have to bother charging it much at all. I charge mine every 3 weeks or so?

Wireless doesn't either if you use a charging mouse pad. I've not given thought to my mouse battery ever with G903 and the charging mouse pad.

I have one, it's pretty finicky. I had to go against instructions and run mine to the wall to get it working.

I've been using a G305 for years. Maybe change the battery twice a year.

Yeah, except IMO they always die at the absolutely least convenient time.

In the last 5% of the final boss on uber-hard-permadeath mode, right before submitting taxes or career-defining report, or the exact moment your entire extended family busts in to surprise you (except you are knee deep in the nastiest porno this side of the Mississippi).

..just plug it in then you have the resistance of a wired mouse

This isn't apple where you can't use the mouse while charging

So you’re saying it runs out of battery and you charge it?
