Magic Mouse

Anyone got an Apple Magic Mouse? I have one for a while now and it’s practically eating batteries, since Christmas I’ve put in four sets of good quality Kodak AA batteries, is this normal? I have other wireless mice and the power lasts ages in them, if it is normal then I’m going back to the wired mouse on this machine.
‘Magic’ must mean the power in the batteries disappears in a flash.

I had a fair idea something was wrong Meg, probably Apple in cahoots with the battery producers, wouldn't put it past them.
When this set of batteries die that's it, I'm back to the wired mouse again and enough of the swanky mouse, it cost 70 euros and it's supposed to do everything bar pull you a pint. Bah!

I agree with the others, my Bluetooth mouse uses AAA batteries and they last literally years.

Serves you right for buying an Apple product

Re: Magic Mouse

You have to laugh at the concept of anyone paying 70 Euros for a mouse.

Re: Magic Mouse

Haven't used a mouse since I got used to laptops, got a neat little pad for scrolling along on.
