OK, I've got to admit, wireless charging for the mouse is a great idea. Even better would be a mouse/deskpad that has a charging zone in the corner so you can throw it there when you need a quick topoff.

How is this a good idea? We got rid of the mouse charging dock over 10 years ago because you couldn't use the mouse while charging and now it's a great idea that it's coming back? Logitech has the charging mat along with it's mice that can be charged while used but that is also more or less useless bcs you can just plug it in to charge and continue using it. This is just going backwards.

I do remember the old days when wireless mice were a joke, but they're smart enough now to give you ample warning for days, if not weeks, in advance. All you have to do is chuck your mouse into a corner one night and you're good to go for months. It all depends on what you want and need in your mouse. Some value the cord and never having to charge. Personally, I value not having a cord getting tangled up in a mess. To each their own.

It doesn't matter much to me either way, because because good mice only need to be charged a few times a year. Although, personally I can still feel the latency in wireless mice/keyboards, so I never use wireless when I want to be serious about gaming or productivity.

"At the moment, Razer is the only company with mice that have 8K wireless polling rates"

And having a polling rate 20x faster than the fastest gaming monitors matters .... why? I'm not sure a game exists that checks the position of your mouse more than once per frame. Can the OS even read mouse data more than once per screen refresh? I legitimately don't know if the mouse is polled by the system, or if mouse movement causes an interrupt. But either way, the system would be incapable of displaying movement that happens between frames.
It seems like a total waste of data, power, and maybe CPU. You would think gamers would want the most stripped-down and efficient mouse they could get.
