My dell wireless mouse requires 2 AA batteries every 4-5 weeks.

Is this normal? I've tried changing from energiser to duracell, and now I'm thinking I should just invest in energiser or duracell's parent company to recoup the costs.

Let me guess, you really need to be further away from your computer than comfortable viewing distance to require the need of a "wireless" mouse... :)

How about one with a "longer" tail that plugs into the computer? :rolleyes:

Get a wireless mouse with rechargable batteries (and a base for recharging). Or just buy rechargable batteries and a battery charger.

My first set of rechargable batteries lasted about 2 1/2 years. In most cases, placing the mouse on the charger overnite kept them adequetely charged.

What is the point of a wireless mouse? I just love it when one of my partners start losing control of their mouse in the middle of a game because they forgot to recharge it or put in batteries. Just get a USB hub.

After the wireless mouse died in the middle of a heated WOW battle and got me killed, I've decided to take JoAnneM and Card's advice.

I changed to logitech mouse. And now minesweeper works better too! Logitech all the way! Down with Dell and Microsoft!
