Daily charging?! Seriously. I recharge my mouse (and keyboard) every few weeks.

Still a pain. I prefer wired option but doesn't look like that option is available for the MX.

My Lift vertical mouse has one AA battery, and it lasts for months, a good battery will last for a year or more, I have a Kodak in it at the moment, and it is 45% left and have been in there for over 4 months.

The MX last for weeks on a charge.

Even my phone lasts the best part of a week on a charge.

It’s not really a pain. Just keep a usb C cable plugged in to the computer. And connecting a usb C plug is much easier than any variant.

Wired mice went out with the ark. Good riddance.

I felt that way years back when some wireless mice were laggy and inaccurate. Logitech and their USB dongle changed that and since starting with the original MX, I will not go back to wired. Now, the MX3 has BlueTooth or Dongle interfaces and can be used on three different machines - cycle through with a single button press.

I tend to use my touchpad however, the mouse is sitting next to the laptop and powered up and BlueTooth connected. Last charge was well before Christmas and it is sitting at about 60% charge.

Heavy user - maybe one a week or two. Light user - monthly maybe. My wife's older MX2 with a well used battery goes for two weeks and it get good use.

I was simply quoting from their spec:-

"Battery

Had it read something like 4-weeks typical use following an overnight charge, I would not have remarked on it. To me three hours use is just about enough for one day.

My current logitech wireless keyboard and mouse run for moths on a couple of AAAs (keyboard) and a single AA (mouse).

Cheers!

You needed to read further down the page:

MX Master 3S stays powered for up to 70 days on a full charge – and gets three hours of use from a one-minute quick charge.23Battery life may vary based on user and computing conditions. Use the included USB-C charging cable to top up the power.

70 days on a full charge.

How long does your phone last on a one minute charge? Three hours is, frankly, amazing.
