    Do wireless mice use regular batteries or do they use rechargable batteries?

    Most wireless mice use regular batteries. Rechargeable mice are more expensive.

    :yes:

    I have two wireless mice from Logitech, MX Revolution and VX Nano.

    The MX has a recharger base station that you dock the mouse into. The VX nano is powered by 2 AAA battery. f you have AAA rechargeable batteries then you can use it in the VX nano.

    It all depends on the mouse. Most of them take either 1 or 2 standard 1.5V "AA" batteries. There are a few that use an internal rechargeable, but they are usually the more expensive "premium" models.

    Of course there are also rechargeable "AAs" now so I guess you can make any mouse rechargeable! LOL :D

    how many hours do you get out of one charge of the MX compared to one set of batteries from the VX nano?

    thanks
