https://cherryxtrfy.com/mice/mz1-wireless/

This mouse is designed to be extremely light weight. So the battery is small (500 mAh is less than half a AAA battery).

And it's designed to handle up to 50g of acceleration (ie, fast FPS twitch movements), so it has to be doing a lot of tracking.

So between higher power consumption than normal mice and a smaller battery than normal mice, it only advertises 75* hours of use (* Depending on Hz, lighting on/off and playstyle).

I could absolutely get a mouse that lasts much longer. But not one that meets all the other criteria I have for a performance gaming mouse. I wasn't attempting to come in hot about "wireless bad" or anything, just sharing my experience.
