    My Microsoft wireless mouse batteries only last about a month. Microsoft replaced my mouse twice but the battery life didn't improve. I turn off my mouse at night and that does improve the battery life, but my computer is one 18 hours a day so I buy batteries in bulk. I believe the name has something to do with the lack of the 10-month battery life; it is mystical but explains why three different Microsoft mice all used up battery life in a short time. A mouse is a creature that is easily frightened and a small (micro), easy-going (soft) mouse is at risk in a frightened, unbelieving world (in the last days, men's hearts will be failing them for fear). People do have a tendency to walk on me, but I've started standing up for myself. I copied this from the internet. "There comes a point in life when you stop bending over backward for people and start bending forward, so they can kiss your ****." Whether or not the name has anything to do with the Microsoft mouse, this does work for me.

    Hi,

    Possibly using cheap or re-chargeable (maybe worn) batteries? When I tried using rechargeables

    they did not last very long which also would indicate short life from cheaper brands. Duracells

    and Engergizers have given good service in my 5000 and 3500 rodents.

    Could be something wrong with the mouse.

    These mice come with 90 tech support from day of 1st incident which would start when

    you contact Microsoft at the below number.
