Fantastic, 3rd notebook mouse w/cord that dies on me in a year

Posted by celedhrymandias (aka celedhring) Dec 11 '08, 11:53

I guess I should get a Bluetooth one, but the battery malarkey just pisses me off.

I have a Microsoft one that was about $20-$30 and I haven't changed the batteries yet. - JaxSean Dec 11, 11:55 15
- I'd say my office one dies every 2 months. -- nm - pmb Dec 11, 12:16

- I change batteries every month or so, I think.. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 11, 12:01
- I change mine out every 4-6 months, and have rechargables for that purpose. -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 11:56 11
  - I haven't used a non-rechargeable battery in years. -- nm - candy canes love mandy lane Dec 11, 11:58 9
    - I hadn't really needed them at all for years, except for my digital camera which I never use. -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 12:05
    - where do you buy them at? I need about 12 AA rechargeables for some solar lights. - JaxSean Dec 11, 12:03 7
      - our costco has single size in dozen (larger ones) or 2 dozen (small ones) when I used a walkman (remember those) I'd save my half used from my camera - zeitgeist Dec 11, 12:08 1
        
        We buy the Duracel regular AA's and AAA's in bulk at Costco. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 11, 12:10

        that's what they have at Costco. But only in packs with D's, C's, AAA's, etc. - JaxSean Dec 11, 12:07 3

        the adapters come in handy more than you might think. - Reagen Dec 11, 12:11 1
        
        kids: yes. Everything pretty much takes AA's or AAA's. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 11, 12:13
  - I had (and sadly lost) a wireless one that you could plug to the USB for recharging. I wonder if they make a bluetooth device like that. -- nm - celedhrymandias Dec 11, 11:58
