After my first set of alkalines died, I went to the store and picked up 2 sets of GE rechargables (about $6 a set), and a charging unit (about $10). I have had NO problems with these batteries. The only problem I seem to have is when I move the mouse in very small amounts (Fine adjustment of the pointer to click on something small) it seems to hesitate. Sometimes if I move it slow enough, I can move it across my whole mouse pad without moving the pointer. Has anyone else noticed this? I would appreciate receiveing E-mail from people about this, because if it is a problem with my mouse alone, then I would like to get it replaced. If it is a problem with the design of the mouse (ie a feature) I will just have to get used to it. If you respond to this here, please also send me E-mail, because I will be at home for spring break and will probably miss it.
