Does anyone know of a mouse that can be used wireless, with a replaceable battery and that can be connected to the PC via USB-C to recharge the battery? Obtainable in Europe.

The reasoning is that I do not want to get into the situation where I do not have a charged replacement battery at hand and am therefore unable to use the mouse.

Currently I am using a mouse without a replaceable battery which got so old that the battery only holds for 1-2 hours without being connected to the cable.

I know I could simply go with a wired mouse, however, I like the cleanliness of minimal cables on my desk. Thanks for suggestions.

Not what you asked for, but my solution is mice that take AA or AAA batteries, and use Ni-MH rechargeables in them. I keep all the spare batteries charged, and take the charger and some spares with me when traveling.

In fact I no longer buy one-use AA or AAA at all for anything, mostly because they leak and destroy stuff.

I've been using a Logitech Trackball for many years - Ergo M575. It can connect via a dongle or bluetooth. Lasts for months on a single AA battery.

The beauty of a Trackball is it works anywhere - arm of a chair, on my leg, any table without a mouse pad.

Edit: sorry, the dongle is USB-A.
