    3 minutes charge time; my mind is blown if the usage time is more than 24 hours.

    On the other hand...After owning a wireless Razer Naga Epic, I realized how much I hate "charging my mouse".

    I think charging the battery is going to be a pain after a few days, I have an HP wireless mouse and it lasts up to 9 months on 2xAA alkaline battery`s , though it will run on 1xAA battery, makes it a bit lighter to use, I prefer to use rechargeable though.

    Someone should invent a dongle that functions as a receiver and air(nergy) -not wifi- transmitter.. and the mouse works as usual but also harvests that air(nergy) on-the-go

    That can't work without either wasting 99.9% of the energy and frying nearby electronics or being 100% impractical and a million times more bothersome than recharging or replacing the batteries.

    I see no problems charging my Mamba. Just put it on the stand when not in use.

    I said my mind is blown if 3 minutes charging time results to at least 24 hours of usage.
    My Razer on the other hand.... :(
