Mouse Woes.. eating through AA's like they're made of cheese...
My recently new mouse ( about 1 1/2 months old ) just ate through its first set of batteries I think.. ( it started stuttering and freezing ).
I put a fresh set in but I expected more than a month and a half "use" ( 5-7 hours use per day during the week, 12-16 hours a day at the weekend ).. some of it gaming, some of it surfing and some of it just sitting there while I watch stuff..
I put in energizer max AA's... ( it takes 2 ) ..
in contrast, my mouse for my work laptop has had the same single AA in it now for nearly 12 months and is still going strong.. ( though that's only 9 hours a day, 3 days a week )..
Is there a better option for the batteries? will the mouse function ok on the reduced voltage of a rechargable? ( 1.2v as opposed to 1.5v )?
