Apple’s latest USB-C-equipped Magic Mouse still consists of the charging port on the bottom.

With this newly introduced $99 Magic Mouse, Apple will persist to believe that to charge the Magic Mouse, it requires to flip it over and plug it in, that unfortunately means that users can’t use it while it's charging. This design choice limits the usability while charging.

The company could have come up with some innovative solution to the traditional Magic Mouse charging solution. But much to the dismay of users, it failed. Now Apple needs to take it a bit seriously and bring a significant upgrade to change the charging port point.
