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

@nblr something working doesn’t mean it’s not stupid. A AAA battery and a AA battery? The AAA would run out faster needing to be replaced and you have to stock two different types of batteries.
@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! -
@timolaine Correct.
One or the other but not both. XORing battery placement. I approve.

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

@nblr I don't see the evil part so def chaotic good.
@the_moep The evil part? well… reading the comments…this design seems to upset some people unduly.

Where does the button battery go? -
@nblr
Where does the button battery go?@corvus That's right: It goes on the square hole!

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

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

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

@nblr Looking at all the comments, I would say that chaotic is a given, but the rest is pretty balanced, no evil intention here.
Chaotic neutral seems right… -

@griffin30007 @nblr It's a clever but silly-looking "lockout* system that lets you use one AA or two AAAs, but without letting you mix different cell sizes at once. So it's actually meant to allow you to use whatever you happen to have on hand instead of needing one specific kind of battery.
@nytpu @griffin30007 @nblr
Two? No. Look again. -
@catmisgivings @nblr it's meant to let you use two AAAs or one AA, but without letting you mix different cell sizes at once
@nytpu @catmisgivings @nblr
No. Only one of either type of battery. -
@nblr that's some @NanoRaptor shit.
@pawv @nblr @NanoRaptor Holy shit, this is *real*! I was looking for a smoking gun proving that it's fake, but instead I found this manual for the Logitech MK255 TM250G Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo, which I have backed up for posterity: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17qEFUvDQIuG-vbvSzILhUjwDPJmZQB7Y/view?usp=sharing
Anyway, I am excited to see if anyone has a photo of the rare cruciform AAa battery that everyone forgot was briefly available for this model, but sadly not compatible with the side-by-side AAa standard that was chosen by most other manufacturers.
-
@pawv I fear, it's slightly below that level. @NanoRaptor level would mean fitting the matching battery in:
@nblr @pawv @NanoRaptor Ooh, that's what I was looking for. I remember having to go to five different shops to see who still had these in stock. They were also really annoying to store; they took up a lot of space, and the centre was a bit fragile and would bend if you weren't careful.

@nblr that's pretty cool, actually.

May this be an inspiration to us all...
(Clearly one battery is for lefties and the other for righties in order to maintain symmetrical balance regardless of mouse hand
)
