Default Battery life in cordless keyboards and mice.

I'm looking at the batteries now, they're only 600mah.

So let's say I work 8:30 - 5, that's 8.5 hours.. subtract 30 mins for lunch,
two 15 minute breaks, and we'll add a 5 minute crap.. so we'll round down
and say at least 7 hours of almost constant use from one battery.

I do a lot of graphic editing, typing (word, excel, email), web surfing, web
design, so it's mostly things where I use the mouse a lot.

What is it??

Battery last all day or you have to swap it once a day?? If you swap
it once a day it does not last all day!!

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH



It lasts ONE day, the battery he inserted the previous day dies and he
swaps it with the one from the charger. Clear now?


I find it a bit fascinating that a battery for a mouse can only last one
day. Is that typical for such devices? I mean, how much current does a
mouse really need to use???
