| 522486 | 2007-02-04 03:12:00 | I'm currently using a Logitech MX1000 laser mouse... the best I've had by far. Constant use all day, every day and batts last weeks, nice feel, very accurate 10/10 Also using a logitech Di Novo keyboard, the newer 'standard' cordless version, but I've had the bluetooth model before that which died and couldn't be replaced. I like the Di Novo keyboard, nice touch to the keys but in the end just a keyboard, so 6/10. I also bought the cordless Logitech S510 but didn't like it at all 3/10. Haven't tried any others like MSoft sorry :( |

| 522488 | 2007-02-04 07:33:00 | I hate cordless though..........batteries........ I agree there. I go through a set of batteries in my keyboard every 2 weeks or so. and every month in the mouse. |

| 522489 | 2007-02-04 08:01:00 | Microsoft mice last ages in terms of battery life. A friend of mine had one which he would change the batteries in every 3 months (using normal Alkaline cells). My one at the moment has been running for well over a month on a single AA battery - it's rated to last 6months. I have an A4Tech wireless keyboard, which I haven't changed the battery in for well over 6 months... if not longer. The cordless mouse made by them goes through a set of batteries every 3 days though. |

| 522490 | 2007-02-04 08:34:00 | I have a Logitech G7 and it is great :D comes with its own rechargeable batterys, so batterys are no problem, they last about 24 hours of constant usage. And the range on it is huge, I can be a few rooms down and it still picks it up clear and pefect, just as if I were at the PC :D |

| 522491 | 2007-02-04 23:21:00 | The MX1000 is built-in rechargeable with nice little green/red LEDs on the side of the mouse to show the charge. :thumbs: | Shortcircuit (1666) | ||
| 522492 | 2007-02-04 23:44:00 | Wacom tablets have cordless pen and mouse which don't use batteries. Plus, you won't get carpal tunnel using a pen. I use my pen except when I have to use a mouse for gaming, and it's much faster than using a mouse once you get used to it. On the other cordless keyboards/mice--I'm a gamer, and when I've tried the other wireless keyboards and mice that use batteries, I've noticed a slight delay (okay, extremely slight, but when your life depends on milliseconds response, it's important, lol) in the response to my actions. Don't notice any delay on the Wacom, though, I guess because it's not using rf transmission of the signal. |

Don't notice any delay on the Wacom, though, I guess because it's not using rf transmission of the signal. I guess it recharges using the earth's magnetic field and is also psychic as it requires neither batteries or rf transmissions. Nah- let me guess, the cord's just so you don't loose it :thumbs: |
