I'm not too sure how many batteries they would go through (It kind of depends on battery and mouse brands/quality) but rechargeable's are a great thing, it may seem more expensive at the start but they pay themselves off over time. Make sure you get 2 though so you have one to put in when the other runs out. Regards Sam H	Sam H (525)

It's still about 1/4 charged, so I have some new batteries just in case. Supposedly MS have released a mouse not too long ago and it works fine for long periods of time, it's optical too.

Yes, it does chew through the batteries (1 set per month, on average), but with re-chargeable batteries that shouldn't be too much of a bother . Much less of a bother in fact than I found having cords getting in my way all the time . . . Hope this helps . Cheers The Sharkmeister	Sharkey (455)
95320	2002-11-02 05:29:00	oh, yeah, one other thing. The MS Intellipoint cordless mouse has no roller-ball - just the optical thingie (have no idea of the technical term!). This means no cleaning the mouse-ball every couple of months, and no problems with slower speeds (unless the batteries are almost on empty). Cheers The Sharkmeister	Sharkey (455)
