Logitech has a single battery M510 that looks to get more than a year from a single battery. It works very well and I would not replace it unless performance and price was on par with the Logitech.
Frankly with touchscreens becoming the new standard your project is about a decade late.
Don't do it.

Hi guys,
I'm in the middle of some basic market research for an engineering project for school, and it would seriously help me out if you could help me out. I need responses on a short, 8-question survey regarding computer mice.
Every response helps me out a lot, as it tells me what consumers want, which helps me design my end-product.
Thanks a lot!
