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.
Logitech G305. No cord but has a replaceable AA battery.
This is a very nice mouse. You can buy Li-Ion batteries in an AA format for those, that come with a USB-C slot. I use that setup for more than a year now and am very happy with it.
@BarHocker There are likely still mice using standard AAA batteries out there.
Yes there are but I am specifically searching for one wjth a detachable cable for charging.
@BarHocker I guess you also want to use your mouse while charging, right?
Yes, that is right.
@BarHocker If you don’t find one, as an alternative, you could buy a set of 4 rechargeable batteries and use and recharge them interchangeably, so you can always have a set of 2 spare batteries at hand when the other 2 get discharged.
It’s reasonably easy to replace the internal battery of many mice, which might be worth a try if your mouse is fine otherwise.
E.g. below is an example of a Logitech G Pro Wireless battery replacement. These exact tools aren’t necessary, and a replacement battery can be found for 10-20€.

Might be tricky to find, so if you want user replaceable batteries in a Mouse, maybe get a USB AA/AAA battery charger and use any of the many mice with AA (Or AAA) batteries. Recharge the batteries by plugging in the USB charger when they get low ?
My Logitech MX Master 3S is USB c rechargabke but not user replaceable batteries
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
