Something between "Chaotic Good" and "Lawful Evil", I guess.

@oe_simon @nblr Bitte keine IPv6-Scherze!

@nblr so this his how the mouses work at Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters

[nblr@chaos.social]

@timolaine Correct.

[nblr@chaos.social]

@ska Exactly. The infuriating thing is that it is actually useful design - it even could be construed as "good design" because it physically implements the "either AA or AAA, just one is fine" constraint unambiguously. grr!

[sherifflonestar@mastodon.social]

@nblr God bless the glorious Mad Bastard who came up with this.

[nblr@chaos.social]

@meeper YES and NO.

[nblr@chaos.social]

@pawv I fear, it's slightly below that level. @NanoRaptor level would mean fitting the matching battery in:

[dxmacguffin@metalhead.club]

@nblr

Obviously you just need a battery type XXX for this.

[oe_simon@mastodon.social]

@qbi @nblr das wäre AAAA!

[the_moep@mastodon.de]

@nblr I don't see the evil part so def chaotic good.

[duckwhistle@mastodon.org.uk]

@griffin30007 @nblr
No. They cross over so you physically cannot use both at the same time.
You choose one or the other, and if you only have one in stock, you don't have to go out and find the other type!

[bit@ohai.social]

@nblr @timolaine

One or the other but not both. XORing battery placement. I approve.

[foxarc@furry.engineer]

@nblr Where can I buy this? Asking for a friend.

[nblr@chaos.social]

@the_moep The evil part? well… reading the comments…this design seems to upset some people unduly.

[amoonrabbit@mk.udongein.reisen]

@nblr@chaos.social X marks the spot

[corvus@mapstodon.space]

@nblr
Where does the button battery go?

[nblr@chaos.social]

@corvus That's right: It goes on the square hole!

[mariejulien@mastodon.social]

@nblr Wow very clever! One AA in the middle and a few LR44 on both sides!!

[valtid@neopaquita.es]

@griffin30007 @nblr you don't need to put both...just one

[sloanlance@mastodon.social]

@nblr
It's a great design. I like it a lot.
