Just been given a wireless mouse , first time ive ever used one and its great    Modern technology has moved on a bit eh  Just got to try to get use to no more wires 

[cnj]

you'll soon get used to replacing batteries though !!

I remember when I first had one at work, probably 15yrs ago, the first "tired moment", I realised the fundamental flaw with this idea...  ...no cord to restrain them to the desk during pram emptying sessions 

Still, spot of superglue, and I still use the very same one now, although its looking a bit beaten up now

I use rechargeable batteries, last about 2 months of daily use 

Paid for themselves after second recharge

I find rechargables only last a few days in mine, alkaline last 3 or 4 months

I have had my 'Logitech' wireless mouse for some years now, batteries never been a problem, only changed them about twice perhaps 3 times........

Yes but your battery charger is a tad er.....different to most!

[the alarming man]

our entire office is wireless mouse and keyboard..battery life is very good

Try some Sanyo Eneloop XXs - high capacity and very low self discharge. Well worth the extra cost.

I don't think the brand would matter in this case, I think the nominal voltage is too low for such a low power device.

Well 2nd day of wireless and its faultless . Now ,why cant they invent a wireless power supply when it needs charged

Whats going on with this mouse  I move it right and it goes left 
































Arrh its upside down

Arrh its upside down 

The number of times I've done that with the Mac's MagicMouse (not helped by it being almost symmetrical in all directions)..

Soz, the article is 'dangle berries'. Well technically correct, but 'dangle berries' for real life.

If you were designing anything that needed a constant drain of 0.5A or 1A, you wouldn't design it to use AA cells.


NiCd and NiMH batteries do outperform std alkaline batteries in high current applications, but are generally NFG in low power applications designed for alkaline batteries.

In this specific case, I have tried both NiCd and NiMH in the mouse, and got feed up with the contsant recharging required.
