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.
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€.

Logitech G305. No cord but has a replaceable AA battery.
Unfortunately, the mouse is only sold in a keyboard/mouse bundle, but the “CHERRY STREAM DESKTOP RECHARGE” bundle might be something you would be interested in. Both keyboard and mouse have replaceable batteries and these suckers are built to last. The mouse is little bigger, so def. have something in your hand and it has super silent buttons. I especially like the type-feel of the keyboard. I am normally totally I to mechanical keyboards, but I can totally tolerate typing on it. 😉
Edit: Oh, and I forgot. You can recharge them with a USB-C cable.
(Disclaimer: I work for Cherry, but IMHO it is still a very good product for the price. )
