I guess that would depend on how often you used the torch, for me rechargeable batteries last for years in them.
My headphones have a cord, because logic (for my use case anyway). I have no idea how long batteries tend to last in cordless ones.
So with the mouse, what you are saying is that you could use it while it was plugged in with a cord?
if you tweet, I would rather you were on a different internet, or preferably on a different planet.

I’m not sure of the advantage, docking the device instead of putting the batteries in a recharger? The batteries do not need to be charged that often anyway, and that would increase the cost of every device, as opposed to just buying one charger that should last for a very, very long time.
Putting batteries in a charger isn’t difficult.
There are things much more important than your preferences
If it was all just about my preferences, we would all be using corded… better, simpler, less waste.
Why do you believe good options don’t exist?
Demand creates supply
Apathetic consumers get trash
Game controllers can generally be used that way too, so you pose a good question.
The only logical answer might be because they want to create waste, and consumers have not demanded that they offer corded/cordless mice.
The page is crap on mobile browser with the same ad blocking extension as I use on pc
The page is the issue.
It’s not ads, I don’t get them, haven’t done for years.
The page is fine on pc.
Batteries do not last forever.
These dodgy companies have it far too easy with apathetic consumerists. No wonder the world is on fire.
I use corded, have previously used rechargeable AA mice though, it’s not an issue and you don’t have to worry about the built in battery ever being the problem with the mouse.
That website is horrible on a phone
Nah, non-propreitary or the mouse can remain unsold.
I wouldn’t buy a cordless mouse that couldn’t use rechargeable AA’s or AAA’s. Consumers really need to take control, these companies deliberately create ewaste.
I switched to noai.duckduckgo when startpage went ai. It is a lot better than when I tried duckduckgo in previous years, and definitely better than startpage was. I haven’t noticed any issues with search returns.
That link does open.
This looked legit until reading the post title
links to a site covered in amazon ads…
Non-replaceable batteries are bad, but they are far form new, they have already been tried and are known to be deliberately anti-consumer, which is why the eu is doing something about it. Every single person does not need to buy ewaste for something to be known as ewaste.
Consumer tech would have progressed a great deal more if consumers had standards. At the moment it has just gone from bigger number better, to put ai in the name. Tech is meant to be better than that, sustainability is a massive part of long term viability due to finite resources.
