One of the reasons why I hate being stuck with a wireless mouse on modern Mac desktops is the recharging: you must physically plug a USB cable into the bottom of the mouse, thus rendering it useless during recharge. This, in turn, restricts the time of day for when to charge the mouse: right before you go to sleep or right before you leave for work are pretty much your only choices. It's a stupid design, and I am, frankly, not a fan of wireless mice or keyboards. I'm not against batteries, per se: a battery in a laptop is perfectly sensible. But mice and keyboards work just fine with physical wires, and if long wires are an annoyance for you, you can just wind up the loose part and hold it bundled together with a simple elastic band.
