How long do the batteries last for wireless mice?

I just recently got a logitech mx700 wireless mouse and was wondering how long do the batteries last after recharging them everyday after use?

I bought my mx700 back on 8/27/2003, and it is still running strong.

I'm using them cheapo batteries it came with too.

My Cordless MouseMan Optical seems to need a new set of batteries every couple of months. My cordless keyboard, however, has only ever needed the batteries replaced once in years.

My MS Wireless Optical tends to need new batteries every 3 months or so, but I use my computer alot more than the average person (roughly 40 hours a week). I always replace my batteries at the first sign of problems like stuck cursors and such...

Keyboard seemed to last for ever---the mouse however needed new batteries every two to three weeks---and when they go dead they are really dead...it drains every last bit of life out of them...

Changed back to my hardwired Logitec..it was a pain in the a....

About every three months for my MS wireless combo mouse. Only changed the keyboard batteries once.

I would change the batteries in my Logitech wireless optical mouse about once a month. My Logitech wireless keyboard was very easy on juice though, as I only remember changing them once in a year.

I've had my mx700 for almost a year and a half. I use the batteries it cam with. I also recharge every night. I've never needed to replace the batteries and it's still going strong. I'd say you won't have to worry about them for a long while.

For the MX700, it'll take you a long time to ocmpletely kill the batteries. Just charge it overnight or if you aren't using the computer for a couple of hours.

Yeah, they last a long time. NiMH batteries like to be kept near capacity, so I put the mouse back in the charger whenever I'm not using it.

When I forget, I get about two days' average use on a single charge.

I have a Logitech cordless (non-optical), the batteries last about a year. The keyboard is about the same.

i'd say my mouse batteries (logitech optical cordless) need changing every 6-8 weeks (estimate).

i've had the cordless keyboard for 3 months, and its never required battery change.

I use my MX700 for at least a couple of days without recharging it. Then if I go to bed I put it on overnight, or if it starts to blink red I put in in its charger for half an hour, then it's fresh for the rest of the day. Then I charge it overnight.
I bought it 6 months ago or something, and the batteries still last for days without a recharge.

I replace the batteries in my MS Intellimouse Explorer about once a month, no more, no less.

my wireless optical intellimouse took another set of AAs about once every 1 1/2 - 2 months.
