Life Span of a Mouse
By Howard Young | December 10, 2007
Today was the first day I had to change the batteries in my Microsoft Natural Mouse. The two Energizer AA batteries that came with the mouse ran out of juice after about four months of use.
The mouse got a new life with some old 1800 mAh rechargeable batteries I found in the garage. (I hope the batteries still hold a charge!)
The Microsoft Natural mouse took about 3 days to get comfortable with due to its ergonomic size and shape but I have less pain in my wrist than I ever had before.
Eventually I ended up getting one at the JOB because the cheap mouse they bundle with computers today basically suck. They have a horrible shape and feel to them. That cold plastic and dove-bar shape is nothing to get excited about.
I expect I’ll be replacing the batteries in the mouse at work next month sometime if the battery life is about the same.
