They’ve had lots with replaceable batteries. I really miss my G604. You could swap the 2 AA’s in about 10 seconds without even picking the mouse up.
Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo
AChiTenshi@sh.itjust.works 9 hours agoSo this is not the first time Logitech will have had a mouse with a replaceable battery. The Logitech G7 had a swappable rechargeable battery and it was great.
But yes it was a proprietary battery, but you only needed 2. One in the mouse and one in the recharge station. Swapping them out was basically the push of one button. I would love it if they went back to that sort of design.

Savage, but then a mouse would be uncharacteristically heavy with a standard barrel battery, right??. A button may work but nobody makes rechargeable buttons yet.
I switched from my fancy pants Turtle Beach Elite 800X headset, the top brand before Astro A40 and Arctis Nova Pro released, to a SteelSeries Siberia 800. Going from a dodgy, dying-battery premium headset to a midrange that comes with two batteries and more can be purchased was a (quite literal) game changer. So I can attest to Steelseries being great. Side bonus the batteries were coincidentally interchangeable with a few brands of Nokia but can’t remember which ones.
My point is, SteelSeries are a great brand and they make mice with interchangeable, AAA, batteries. Like the Rival 3

Yeah I’ve been using wireless mice that take AAA’s for years at this point. Thing is they last very long (maybe half a year) that it really doesn’t matter all that much.

Nah, non-propreitary or the mouse can remain unsold.
