So with the rumors that it won't be just some plain jane mouse - but will have to be bluetooth or something else made me think of this. Maybe one does exist, or there is some limiting factor to doing it, but if it is a normal bluetooth wireless mouse i won't buy it. While they are starting to get much more accurate and sensitive they still have batteries. With that it means that in the middle of doing something you are going to have to stop what your doing and change batteries or worse, slap it in a charger and grab a different mouse or if on a laptop use the trackpad. So why hasn't someone made a bluetooth wireless mouse that has a usb charger...but not just any form of a charger - but one that plugs in like a normal corded mouse does - no docking charging station..but simply let it act like a normal corded mouse while it is charging..but it then means that you don't have to switch batteries or stop using it while it sits in a charging station but can continue on what you are doing still working as a bluetooth mouse but looks like a normal usb corded mouse simply to draw power to charge the batteries back up. The idea seems simple to me that it puzzles me why i haven't seen one yet and is the simple reason that i won't use a wireless mouse. But if something like this was done from Apple it would be a great product - it would be doing something that has not yet been done(to my knowledge). It would set it apart from the competition...sure it is just a mouse - but this is the sort of detail that i have come to expect out of apple. Apple if your listening - make me one!
