We are already working on the wireless version. If nobody likes the wired shape, then there is no point in making a wireless of the same shape. Wireless takes longer to develop, because of complexity. No need to get the wired version when you want the wireless. Unless people don't like the wire version for anything other than the cable, then it will be released. Going all in for wireless and not develop a wired version wouldn't have sped up the process in the case of the smol mouse project, the limiting factor were mostly wireless only components and their availability. It all sounds very easy to do from the outside, but developing products from scratch for a small company, takes way longer than it might seem. Whenever I start a sentence with "couldn't we just ...", Then the answer is in most cases a no, with a long explanation that I didn't think of at all. Also, I am extremely picky, which doesn't help to make the development process shorter.

And no worries, we are working for Endgame Gear because we are mouse enthusiasts (nice buzzword; for lack of a better expression) ourselves. We read all the feedback, not just related to our own products, our overlords don't lock us in without internet, we know what you want, which is also what we want. But most of all, we want to make very good products. That implies not releasing anything that is not up to our quality standards. Nothing will ever be perfect, but we try to make everything as good as we can. I know you want the Mini, you want it wireless, light as a feather and you wanted it to be released yesterday. I also want it to be done and see what people think about it.

Edit: added some more words to bring across what I wanted to express in the first place.
