    Hey I need a bit a mouse help.
    For the pass 8 months I've ran through 4 mouse. From various manufacturers all optical and wired except for one. After a month or so for what ever reason the mouse wire seems to go bad at either end (at the usb connection to port. or at tip of mouse). If i play with it eventually comes back on; it last for a few days and then its totally dead. I'm wondering if its something I'm doing wrong.

    But anyway I need a new mouse. I was looking at

    The mini wireless one from iconcepts i have now is very crappy the battery lasts 5 days and the only way i could get it to work properly now if is the its half open. I use the mouse on average of 7 hrs a day continuously what battery life are theses going to get.

    for laptops i always recommend the mogo x54. it charges in your express slot, is always with you, and double as a media remote. how can you get any better??? its only 50 bucks!!!!

    anyway, its a kickass mouse
