...and if you really want to get into battery recharging, the LaCrosse Alpha Power Battery Charger is one of the best (if not overpriced) battery chargers I've ever owned. All my mice use batteries. All my batteries use this charger. For the "battery geek" it's perfect.

About the rechargeable Energizer batteries...I have four, with a recharger, so when the battery goes dead, I just switch it out with a charged one, and put the dead one in the charger. I just hate a wired mouse. Worth it for me to have a wireless mouse.

Paul, I replaced my rechargeable battery with an energizer nh15<http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-NH15-Pre-Charged-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00I9KXJ8I> which now gives me 3-4 days of constant use. Still not great but better.

Not because of ergonomics but because it eats batteries. It comes with an Eneloop rechargeable and can be used while recharging, but the problem I've had since day one is, it rarely lasts more than 4-6 hours. Logitech replaced mine under warranty and the new one performs exactly the same, so it seems like that's all it can do. I ended up just using it as a wired mouse, which defeats the purpose. Personally I have bigger hands, so I like to have a big mouse. The MX is large, but honestly not large enough. This image gives some good idea about sizes, but it hasn't been updated since 2012: http://cdn.overclock.net/1/1f/1fea65b7_Mouse-Sizing-Chart.jpeg Don't skimp on your mouse, keyboard, monitor(s) or chair. You use them all day every day, so why be uncomfortable. -Paul On Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 12:10 PM, Emilio Hernandez <emi...@e-roja.com<mailto:emi...@e-roja.com>> wrote: I switched to a Wacom 12 years ago.

Good, overall. Complaints? .... needs recharging often. The buttons will eventually wear out over time. For the price....good value.

It isn't a very common topic in this list, but what mouse are you using ? do anyone use a trackball? or something else? like a 3d connexion space navigator ? My mouse middle button is kinda broken lately (double clicks when I'm single clicking or simply doesn't do anything) so I'm looking for buying a new one. Do you have any recommendation? I used to like Logitech mice but since they changed to a metallic wheel that is almost unusable I don't buy them anymore. The last one costed me $100+ and had to return it the next day because the new wheel was a piece of garbage. And since we use a middle click quite a lot, I'm looking for something that isn't extremely hard to click like those Logitech and some Microsoft ones. I'm using a Razer Deathadder right now and so far it was perfect, until my middle click started to fail sometimes. I would buy a new Deathadder, even if it is named Deathadder, but Razer's new cloud based drivers that require internet connection and an account are a deal breaker for me. Specially if there is a possibility that I'll have to work in my client's office. Talking about middle click, Surface Pro 3 doesn't have a middle click, and the stencil buttons are unusable in anything but Microsoft OneNote or something like that, and are not configurable. At all. /SP3 rant off. cheers, Martin -- Best Regards, Stephen P.
