I have a Logitech MX Master 3s and can really recommend it to you.
It's on the expensive side, sure, but for something I use daily it's worth it for me. It is a really great device!
It doesn't have a (easily) replaceable battery tho. I didn't take a look at how to replace it, but I think it might be as hard, or easier, than with an electric toothbrush or something, if that's really important to you.
I can't even remember when I charged that thing the last time, and I think that's a good sign for the power consumption. So, even if the battery looses 50% of its capacity over 5-10 years, it will still last for weeks and charge in a very short time, and by that time, it will look so used and disgusting, that you might consider buying a new mouse.
You can also use it while charging (looking at you, Apple mouse!), and it has an USB-C port that also acts not only for power, but also as signal line if you want.
It has a Bluetooth-only mode (for connecting multiple PCs), a wireless dongle, and as said a wired connection.
Thanks for the suggestion, the battery life seems nice but I am looking for that replaceable battery.
The reasoning of a mouse looking disgusting does not really count for me, I try to keep my things clean. My current mouse is about 5 years old and still looks perfectly fine. Just its battery is giving up.
Tried opening up your current one? Very easy usually and lion batteries just connect with a JBOD connection. Google the battery size and get new one from Aliexpress. It's not rocket science!
Then you'll love your current mouse even more knowing you saved it from trash :)
I'm currently replacing the right click button in my MX master 3S. 5 euro for 10 switches and a bit of solder. Not for everyone but batteries are much easier :)
