Need a New Mouse
phitsc:
There must be something wrong with your mouse. Mine lasts a week or more. I'm using it five days a week 8 hours a day for work.

Logitech? The MX or M950?
4wd:
I am surprised that the battery does't last more than a day - most of the reviews I've seen on that mouse they get approx 4 or more days, (still way short of the 3 months I think they claim on the pack).
Maybe that's a consequence of using only one battery ?
Maybe it's just that battery ?
Some rechargeables are crap, have you tried another ?
A few of my LAN night friends use Logitech MX Revolution and usually get a month or more out of a set of batteries.
The MS 5000 Bluetooth claims 6 month battery life and if I put a decent set of alkaline in, I'd probably believe them. The rechargeables certainly last a fair amount of time.
Renegade:
I'm so used to companies sticking in proprietary batteries that I never even checked... It takes AAs. Sigh... Isn't that pathetic?
Anyways, I've replaced the battery with an alkaline. We'll see how it goes now. :D
mouser:
Jury is in...
Not happy with the battery life. It doesn't last a day.
Being as I'm using it on my desktop, I should have gone with the wired one.
Other than that, it's good. The battery life just isn't there though. But that's a common problem across all devices.
Verdict: Good mouse. Batteries suck. All batteries suck.

in 2007 i wrote a long rant against logitech (internal rechargeable battery) mouse and vowed never to use one again.

i've been using a microsoft intellimouse wireless that takes standard AA batteries, and they seem to last a long time. i'm one of those people who found using a wired mouse to be hell.
finding a wireless mouse with good battery life is very important.
