Do you use one? How does it work? Does there have to be an optical connection between the sender and receiver? I have this drawer-type keyboard holder under my desk where I use the mouse the most, but sometimes I like to put the mouse on top of the table... Thanks.

i use one at home. the base unit is on top of my desk and the mouse is on a keyboard tray below it. no problems with the signal even though the mouse is out of line of sight of receiver unit. it's a cordless microsoft optical mouse, btw.

I got a Microsoft Cordless... but it used 2 AA batteries (heavy! bad for repetitive strain injury), so I took it back and got an Itellimouse Optical (corded)...much lighter,nicer to use.

I have 3 wireless cordless opticals. i have 1 microsoft and 2 logitech. they all work through tables and connect well. when you compare the precision of the microsoft to logitech, the microsoft feels sloppy. i have been loyal to logitech for a few years (even though i know the industial designer who made the first 10 mouses for microsoft and get them free.)

Yeah I looked at cordless mice recently but I don't wanna put batteries in my mouse - the cord isn't that much hassle for me so I got an Intellimouse Explorer off eBay - love the back and forward buttons on the side

i have a Logitech MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse. i almost got the microsoft optical cordless, but it take batteries, and the logitech just recharges using the base station. i love this mouse.

how long do the batteries last? how often do you need to replace them?
to me it sounds like a poor answer to stick batteries in a mouse to power it.

by the way, i feel uncomfortable saying "mouses" id rather say "mice". i have met people who say its one or the other. anyone know what it is officially?

"mouses" is definitely wrong.
"Mouse" comes from the animal, and what idiot invented a new word for it in plural?

I have the same logitech one as above - it's a great design and really ergnomical...

I have a cordless Logitech trackman marble at home, and the wire version at work.
some people are into trackballs, some aren't. But it's excellent, I rarely use a regular mouse but at a few places.
As for batteries...
Buy yourself a AA battery charger and the proper batteries at Radio Shack or anywhere else that sells those things, and you'll never regret it.
I think my charger was like $25 and batteries are not too much. doesn't matter, it pays for itself.
If you have: tv remotes, portable cd player, wireless things, you'll save money having rechargable batteries.

i've had the same batteries in my mouse for over a year. pretty cost effective with regular batteries imho, but rechargable batteries make it even better.

Thank you's for all the info. "Mouses" was nothing but an lingual error on my part.

Kensington Wireless Mouse. Love it. Had it since December of 2002. Zero problems. Very accurate.
