I've been having huge problems with my mouse batteries lately.

I've had my current mouse (Logitech MX 700) for about 2 years now, and somehow battery life seems to have shrunk to under 30 minutes

I can hardly play a match of DB these days w/o losing control over my mouse :<

Does anyone know how to maybe somehow enlarge battery life again (making it go fully empty then put it on the charger really long? /o\)

Or do you know if it's possible to buy new batteries for the MX series?

The MX 700 carries 2 AA NiMH batteries.

I'd appreciate any help (besides 'OMIGOSH BUY A NEW MOUSE' because I actually might..eventually MX1000 looks so cool ^_^)

spam.

I got the MX1000 and it works like a charm
A fully charged MX1000 can work for 21 days non-stop

ok...first a question....why cordless?

Response: Either your batteries are cheap-ass....or your mouse is simple broken.

messy i have the same mouse, my battery has also weakened so the life is not as long as it used to be. ive used it for about a year and a half

the batteries need replacing, simple as that, u need to find another pair of nickel hyride rechargeable batteries just like those already in the mouse

don't charge it until the battery has ran out... but i think that's too late.

wireless mice suck :\

wireless IS THE FUTURREEEEEE!!!!

Just buy new baterries? O_o

Ive had mine for a year, and I just leave it on recharge each night... o.O

The MX1000 batteries are supposed to be of a new sort that won't have bad battery life

It's just that with nickel hydride if you charge it before it's fully empty, it seems to 'think' that that's the point of being empty, and takes that as it's new 'life'.

The problem for me though, is to find new batteries of that kind /o\

I have no idea where to go.

As someone said. I find cordless to be quite useless, really. (unless I am missing some fact that makes cordless super-duper superior to the corded version) Just... get a non-cordless mouse :p imo It's not like you're gonna carry it around with you.

wireless is just a pain in the arse to be honest. been there, done that. not going back.

only time i condone wireless is with gamepads, eg on my xbox

but theres a big difference between the living room and the computer.

rechargeable batteries suck... :p my cell phone doesnt last 24hours atm...

same here. but it is a prehistoric 3310

but hey, it very handily turns off during important phone calls.... always a laugh that

hehe, mine is a 3330 :p

eh hem

3210 :D:D:D:D i dont use phones much

i would of though wire > wireless anyway, cant be doing with recharging a battery when i doing something importanr#t =[

anyway, get a mercury optical scroll mouse (5 button) only £5 off ebay and its the best mouse ive ever used
