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.

    I’ve been using a Logitech Trackball for many years - Ergo M575. It can connect via a dongle or bluetooth. Lasts for months on a single AA battery.

    The beauty of a Trackball is it works anywhere - arm of a chair, on my leg, any table without a mouse pad.

    Edit: sorry, the dongle is USB-A.

    Not what you asked for, but my solution is mice that take AA or AAA batteries, and use Ni-MH rechargeables in them. I keep all the spare batteries charged, and take the charger and some spares with me when traveling.

    In fact I no longer buy one-use AA or AAA at all for anything, mostly because they leak and destroy stuff.
