    Hi zhshqzyc, I have 3 different wireless mice. They all require switching off when you finish using your comp.
    The most recent mouse I use, is a Microsoft Wireless Mobile mouse 1000 and it has a switch on the underside.
    The packet claimed the battery would last 10 months !!! :eek:
    But not if it was left switched on all the time.
    There are wireless mice that automatically switch to sleep state after a few seconds of idle state, but they still must be turned off overnight or the battery will flatten. Cheers Neil.

    I hear what retiredlearner is saying, but the fact is that I also use wireless mice - I never turn them off and the batteries last a good 6 months or so.

    I strongly suspect that your mouse is faulty.

    Yup, same as PeteC. Never switch them off & they last 6 months or more. Get a new mouse.

    Definitely a bad mouse or a pack of expired batteries. My MS wifi mobile mouse 3000 will go about 6 months at least on 1 double-A battery.

    Agree totally with Pete, Arie, and Tony - I have 3 wireless mice (MS and Logitech) on different computers and I never turn them off and all typically last 6 - 7 months. The 2 wireless keyboards, however, last about 15 months (no laser beam to fire up).

    That said, all mine use 2 AA batteries.
