I understand the thinking behind the bottom-facing port. It forces the user to disconnect the cable to use the device which preserves the aesthetic of a desk setup.

I wonder if the next Mouse from apple will include a wireless charging mat similar to Logitech's Powerplay system (which I have and love; haven't had to even think about my mouse's battery for the last 3 years).

And yet the keyboard doesn’t require that preservation. It’s just the mouse, and it’s just because they wanted a continuous curve.

It’s form over function and it punishes users for forgetting to charge.

I agree, Cables are ugly. Apple should actually go a step further and do this with the rest of their lineup like the mac. For the iPhones the device should shock you for using it with a cable.
