The MX900 goes through the 2 AA batteries in a few days use, but they are NiMH, and rechargable without removing them in the included base.


I've been using an Apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse as the main input devices on my desktop mac for over a year and I got fed up with using rechargeable batteries. The keyboard lasted for a while, but the mouse was running out every three-five days. It wouldn't be such a problem if there was a dock to charge the mouse in.

I ended up deciding that I was better off using alkaline batteries (which last for a month in the mouse and four months in the keyboard), so I ordered 100 Duracell Procells from a discount battery store. I've worked out that it costs me roughly 10 UKP in batteries a year to run my keyboard and mouse, which is quite worrying.
