Lol I actually have very few open USB ports, thus why I choose to put the mouse cable in the spare one on my monitor. And I charge my phone on a wireless charger plugged into the wall?

Anyway I'm not telling you you're wrong for charging your mouse after work or whatever. I'm just saying that designers are wrong if they don't give consumers the option to use their mouse while charging its battery. That's just basic.

As someone with annoyingly limited USBs because the front of my PC is annoyingly far from my desk with how my room is:

Just get a USB hub with 4/5 plugs, if you've got a c port on your mobo then use that for the hub. Put chargers for your remote accessories on it since it won't need a ton of power or data throughout

Its just... So much nicer to not worry about your monitor turning off. Even if you don't worry about it, it's just nicer to have

I'm 1000% with you on the mouse, I just last week got a new USB hub and want to save others if possible
