i baught a new mouse the other day its a cordless optical packard ball jobby.

The instructions tell you to charge it for 8 hours before the 1st use but dont say how often or how long you shoudl charge it for.

Has anybody got 1 of these how long does it last for, could you please tell me how often do you charge it, how long it lasts for etc please.

I've got the Logitech version (MX700) and put it into the charging cradle when I'm not using the PC. When I tried leaving it out, batteries lasted 2-3 weeks, but you don't get much warning when they run out.

I have the same Figment... but when the red light starts flashing, I chuck it in the cradle and go have a ciggie.. works fine after that

Figment

I don't pick mine up enough to notice the light flashing - never realised *that* was a sign of imminent power failure

LOL - I sometimes get half way up the stairs and still have it in my hand... I hate that! I have to make a detour and pop it back in my study

Logitech MX700 is the best of the bunch

Always put mine back on recharge during the night in its little holder.

Lasts a couple of days without recharge.

I got 2 Microsoft ones, one is now a bit old but well worn Intellimouse Explorer 5 button job and the other is one of the new 3 button horizontal scroll ones with the carbon fibre look.

Both are excellent and the first one is about 2 years old and hasn't had a single problem.

Both work perfect with me Mac

On my Mac I use MX900 paired to a D-link bluetooth adapter and Gamepad Companion to program the additional buttons.
