Well to inform you guys I use rechargeable apple batteries and they last about 3months and I use it all the time... Better than buying batteries every few weeks..
How long will they last before they are unusable anymore? I had other rechargeable wii battery backs that lasted around a month before and regular rechargeable batteries lying around barely work at all.
Well these the one I'm using on them I have had since 2010, before using the batteries on the mouse and keyboard I was using them on my kids remote control cars..
Personally I think that a mouse with no exchangeble batteries is a piece of crap.
You always have to connect it to charge it.
If it stops to work you must connect it to recharge.
I won't upgrade my old one.
piece of crap my ass. What if the wire breaks, what if most people have to work their way around other wires or objects to unplug it and plug in a new one, or what if it doesn't have gestures as good as Magic Mouse?
