Mac: USB-C

Magic Mouse: lightning

I have this work provided combo, and the mouse is the only device in the house that takes a lightning connector.

Cue frantically trying to find that cable every time it gets low..

USB-C and I could just plug the wall charger into it and be done with it.

If your mouse is the only device in your house that takes a lightning connector, why are you frantically trying to find the cable every time it gets low? Just keep the cable by your mouse. It’s not like you are using it for anything else. And why “frantically” anyway? The mouse gives you loads of warning before the battery goes, I routinely use it for hours after the warning. This is not an emergency.

Just

So you wouldn't mind if you keyboard had its own cable as well and gave you plenty of warning before the battery dies? At what point is it ok to complain about an annoying inconvenience that doesn't have to exist?
