Why is the accusative case followed by "without" but the dative case followed by "with"?
Example: "without black dot", but: "with black dot".
That doesn't make any sense, even if my linguistic instinct tells me otherwise. "Without" and "with" serve the same function in a sentence and represent the exact opposite of each other… That's totally irregular, I don't understand it….

We can continue this: Why answer where and where with preposition + Dativ, but where with preposition + battery? Why do I ask Youbut you answer me? Why is your own person small in German (I), but the other person big (you, you, your__), and in English it is reversed (I, but you)? Does English native speakers lack respect for the opposite?
Yes, German grammar is very confusing. You can only be happy that you don’t have to learn German as a foreign language.
It’s easy as it is, “without” demands for the battery, “with” after the tripod. This is not logical in the sense of stringent.
Hello,
that has been determined at some point – for whatever reason. The question of why this is so, robs unnecessary energy that you – even if I’m not a champion of this learning method – better to memorize prepositions and what cases they need.
This is often easier with a song than “Eselsbrücke”.

With “without” you can put the W-question “without who or what?”, so battery.
With “with” you can set the W question “What or “with who?”, that is, Dativ.
