Anyone using one of these? I already have a Microsoft Intellimouse explorer wireless that I love, but replacing batteries on it sucks. I'm wondering if anyone has experance using both mouses and what you think of them

I have it and love it. I tested my mouse to see how long it would last with the stock batteries, and I think it got to over 34 hours of straight use, not counting the hours it would sit there on idle (not in the charger). It's the best mouse I've ever used.System Specs:

Does the mouse encrypt it's transmissions? I know Microsoft's is supposed to use Bluetooth.Comment

I love mine as well. Very comfortable, batteries last just about forever, and it recharges them in the base. Also, a much better gaming mouse than the microsoft...Let us return to the moon, to stay!!!Comment

If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

I can see why you'd want your keyboard to have encryption, but the mouse? Not much sensitive data there.Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry CoxComment

As for Batteries get re-chargeables and that solves that problem.Comment

It's not about knowing what they're doing. Put a bunch of these in an office, and without some kind of encryption or identification it will be just like having the same cordless phone as your neighbor - damn annoying.Originally posted by The PIT

Well I'm using wireless mice here and there within three feet of each other sometimes less and they don't interfere with each other.
I've heard Hp keyboards having rather to much range though.Comment

That's because most wireless mice, like cordless phones, have multiple channels they can operate on. So, add enough mice and you'll start seeing problems.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.
