Good Wireless Mouse

Jul 13, 2006 1:08AM PDT

Hi! I wanting to buy new wireless mouse, but my worrying again it might burn battery fast as my old mouse, Im currently using a mouse with no-brand, I think this is made in china or something, and burn my recharchable battery in 1 week, and I had to replace it with another set of rechargable batteries, charging once a week is annoying, I want something that last at least 4 to 6 months. You guys might be able to point me with a good mouse Happy Brand and Model?


Thanks a much.

The only fix I found was a mouse cradle.

Since I don't use my mouse 24x7, it's not a big deal to leave it in the charging cradle every other night.

microsoft make a range of wireless mice that have a battery life up to 6 months. And they only use standard Alkaline batteries. i have a great Microsoft wireless notebook mouse that has excellent battery life. Some of the places that you can check out are Best Buy, Circuit City, Staples, And even Costco. But if you dont feel like becoming a member at costco then you wouldnt be able to go there. but if you like buying things in bulk like computer paper printer ink and office supplies, then costco is the way to go. hope i helped you a little. let me know on how you do.

Thank you VVTi18

Unfortunately, I couldnt find the Microsoft wireless mose either 4000 or 6000, I can only find here is the Logitech V200 and V400, so I get the V400.

I am in the philippines right now, and there's no costco, circuit city, staples. My sister is at CA,USA, but i thought i will just bought this mouse v400, its only a mouse anyway Happy

Once again. Thank you for your response Happy
