best wired mouse to replace magic mouse?

Hey guys, I am tired of having to replace batteries with this wireless magic mouse using with my 2012 imac. I had purchased a compatible battery charger and batteries which did not work so wasted money.


i would like to get a wired mouse but one which will give me the same functionality as the magic mouse, can anyone link me to one please?


Also a "light" mouse would be best as this magic mouse is heavy and is not the best option for my fingers and hand hand arthritis.


Thanks.

iMac 27", 10.14

If you live in San Francisco, CA you can find a lot of computer stores and call and ask for customer service if the store has a wired mouse for your Apple computer. I went through a lot of different brands for my AA batteries and with the rechargeable ones too. After charging the rechargeable AA batteries for the amount of time it requires. After the charge is over then I tested it with my 9-range battery tester and it read only 1% charge in the batteries. I return it and got another set of the rechargeable one the same thing happen again only 1% charge and after 6 times it still did not have a full charge so I return it again to Apple and got my money back. My Magic Mouse 1 is very light for me and my AA batteries I use in my Magic Mouse 1 last me about 6-8 months before I change my AA batteries again. My desktop MacPro will let me know when I need to change my AA batteries in my Magic Mouse 1. The Magic Mouse 1 which I used is very light and I too have severe arthritis in both of my hands too. If my arthritis gets really bad then I use my wrist brace to give me added support when using the magic mouse 1. Not sure if the wired mouse will give you the same option as the magic mouse, but you can try. I am very happy with my magic mouse 1 which I can replace my AA batteries when my computer tells me when I need it to be replaced. I now use Duracell Coppertop AA batteries and guaranteed for 10 years and I shop at many stores in San Francisco, CA Costco is the cheapest place to purchase Duracell Coppertop AA batteries for me in San Francisco, CA.
