batteries and max. 2 weeks they were empty. Now I'm using rechargeable 1,2V AAAs (850mAh) and they last no longer than 10 days with 1-2 hrs I am using a Logitech trackball wireless mouse on my PC tower and a wired version on my son's notebook PC. The battery in the wireless seems to last about 3 to 6 months. I'm using a Targus optical mouse, which is powered by 2 AAA batteries. A new set of Duracells typically last a couple of days. I just use rechargeables, and have one set recharging while the other set is in the mouse. They go about a year before they need to be replaced. Yikes. couple days? Throw that thing away and get a Logitech wireless optical. My wife got one for christmas and she till has not replaced the batteries. She uses it for a couple hours every day and can't be bothered to shut it off. It has some auto-power save mode built in.
Agree, the Logitech Mouseman is the way to go. I use it all day and replace the batteries about every six - nine months. And openSUSE will even display the mouse's battery status in the task bar. --- Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
