Logitech recently told The Verge that some of its mice will soon feature replaceable lithium-ion batteries, but the new models will only be available in Europe. Like...
I wouldn’t buy a cordless mouse that couldn’t use rechargeable AA’s or AAA’s.
Consumers really need to take control, these companies deliberately create ewaste.
Eh, I just have the mouse cable/charger on my desk connected to the 2.4ghz receiver, super quick to just plug it in while in a game, no need to go find unused batteries.
Though i must admit, mice using AA-batteries can last like a year, right? Which is pretty cool though.
I use corded, have previously used rechargeable AA mice though, it’s not an issue and you don’t have to worry about the built in battery ever being the problem with the mouse.
Same here, for some of my mice and for a bunch more of things - for example a old pair of noise reduction headphones I have uses a single AAA battery.
It’s only with a few years of you use that you really notice the great advantage of rechargeable AA/AAA batteries over custom format rechargeable batteries - when they invariably loose capacity after many recharging cycles, it’s stupidly simple to replace the AA/AAA batteries (and if you’re lucky the technology has improved in the meanwhile, so the newer ones are actually better) but not so for the custom format ones.
That pair of noise reduction headphones (which I bought for work and are now used at home for gaming) are maybe 15 years old by now and gone through 3 or 4 generations of rechargeable batteries.

I bought Keychron keyboard because it can be used wired or wirelessly. Why can’t mice do the same? I don’t see many options at all for that.
