I realized it the first time when the mouse receiver didn't receive a signal transmitted by the mouse anymore.
You can't imagine the joy that I had - a non-reacting windows. You can't swap the mouse while the PC is running so I couldn't shut down my PC on its normal way. Only the little switch at the back of my power supply could fix this problem...

I use a wireless mouse at the office every day, 12 to 14 hours daily, also a wireless keyboard. I only have to change the battery in the mouse about once every three months, and the one in the keyboard has not been changed in six months. Batteries will eventually fail, including those in my wireless mic system. That's why I have lots of spares with me at all times. The only think I don't have a spare for is my wife--but there have been times when it was considered for a few moments.

Cheers,

Gary
