I have a dirtbag Amazon generic $10 mouse with my Dell laptop, basically because I use it mostly in my lap and I got tired of the cable.

Somewhat to my amazement the two AAA cells last 4 months or longer and I forget to turn the thing off at least half the days.

That's about what they last on Apple's meeses. We have a couple dozen at my office. . . and they give the system plenty of warning to replace them. The re-chargeables a little less. Same with the keyboards. No cables is great. No clutter.
