[crazelion]

Does anyone us a wireless mouse? Mind is drving me crazy saying that it needs battieres. I use recharge batttieres in mind. It still says it need battieres. I almost ready to back to wire mouse because it driving me crazy.

Does anyone know what the problem can be. The only way to cut the mouse off is take battieres out.

I have a wireless also, and I hate it... mine is always sucking down the batteries.
Do you have a button that you're supposed to push when you're changing the batteries?? maybe it needs to be switched into another position?
I have to push my button down to change my batteries, then after, push the switch back up to use the mouse... I always forget to switch it back up.

I have one. I use the rechargeables too. Don't know what to tell you though, 'cause changing the batteries always works for me.

I have a laptop so when I'm not using or I put it away, I take the . . . I don't know what it's called. . . the part that you put in the laptop and replace it in the mouse itself. That shuts it off. I have had my mouse since Christmas and use my pc *a lot* for work and fun (8+ hours a day by far) and I have not replaced my batteries once.

Well, maybe not forever, but many, many months on both mouse and keyboard. It is a GREAT set.

I did get one set at Best Buy, then several more for other PC's here.........

I have a Microsoft wireless mouse and keyboard and the batteries last a very long time. They aren't special batteries but the ones from the dollar store.

I had one and got tired of changing the batteries. They always seemed to go out at the wrong time, too. I went back to a wired optical mouse and it is fine. Oh and the other thing I didn't like about the wireless was that it was never very accurate when I tried to click on something.
