Those are great but often expensive mice. I wish the Apple tax didn't extend to third party hardware, but here we are.

It's not really an Apple tax. Those are just great mice, and I've used variations of them on Linux for more than a decade.

(except that my latest one has just suffered catastrophic battery failure)

Catastrophic? Like a battery fire?

It has just stopped holding charge. It can be 100% charged according to Solaar, unplug the cable and it is discharged in < 1 minute. Warranty replacement on the way.
