Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 I've seen a mouse I'd quite like to buy.. http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...oduct_uid=27572It works out at just over £11 all-in.Unfortunately the only review I can find is in Norweigan :o.. http://www.softmag.no/memorex_optical_wire...eless_mouse.htmDoes anyone know any reasons I shouldn't buy one?Does anyone have ANY IDEA of what sort of battery life to expect,I woudn't want to be changing the batteries every other day(and yes I realise they are available with rechargeables and charging stations but I'm a bit strapped for cash)Anyhoo thanks in advance.Shirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Calcutta Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 i think worst case scenario regarding battery life would be 2-3 weeks but not sure about this brand of mouse, using a microsoft mouse and it usually works for 3 weeks but another logitech mouse man really lasts long!

Sir Radfordin Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 This one seemed better:http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...oduct_uid=27573You get a little mouse house that keeps the batterys charged up! Have just bought one for our conference centre and it works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Hmmmm....I think I'll go for the white one http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...oduct_uid=29070It's almost £6 cheaper and does the same job :D Cheers.Shirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Calcutta Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 put a mark on the calender when you buy it and let us know when the battery expires ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I use the logitech corless keyboard and mouse set (optical mouse).At the time i bought it i also bought a battery charger and several packs of digi-cam quality batteries.It was all bought in october last year, the keyboard batteries have not been changed yet, and the mouse batteries get changed every 4 - 5 weeks.I guess the batteries in the mouse would last longer if logitech had designed the mouse so the red light would not flash all the time. But you cant have everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 It was all bought in october last year, the keyboard batteries have not been changed yet, and the mouse batteries get changed every 4 - 5 weeks.WOW!! That's very impressive.I can't stretch to that combo but I wish I could :( Current state of play :- I've bid £10.50 for the white Memorex mouse (brand new) that I mentioned 5 posts up in an Ebay auction.The vendor is only about 10 miles from me so I can collect it for next to nowt!Fingers crossed :D Cheers.Shirl.

madboy33 Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 what i think monkey meant was the re-chargable mouse that does not have batteries(well it does) but sits in a cradle that has a recharger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
