    All I need from mouse is good battery life about 2-3 months, good sensitivity (2000-3000 dpi) and a tiny receiver. :D
    Thanks for answering.

    Unfortunately, your criteria are somewhat mutually exclusive. 2,000 to 3,000 DPI is the territory of gaming-grade mice, which don't include a lot of wireless models, and the ones that are available don't get nearly the battery life you're looking for.

    Logitech G700 plus 4xSanyo Eneloop batteries accu's (for battery swapping, it takes just 5 sec to do it :p)
    Battery lasts about 3-4 days, you will not find mouse with 2000-3000dpi with 2-3 months battery life - it's impossible.

    G700 Mouse is great !


    I ordered logitech 705 marathon - but it sucks all the way as the sensor is very inaccurate and filmsy (so i changed it to G700) - I AM HAPPY NOW !

    Nope. You're dealing with either:

    * Non-gaming mice (~1800dpi, 125Hz USB polling rate) that have battery life from 2 weeks to 3+ years.

    * Gaming mice (5000+ dpi, 1000Hz USB polling rate) that has battery life from 6 hours to 3 days.

    There is no product in the middle ground. For what it's worth, DPI is a relatively useless measurement. Once you get to around 1500dpi - 2000dpi, then the sensitivity becomes a moot point. The real benefit of a gaming mouse will be its USB polling rate (measured by Hz or ms), and the quality of its laser imaging sensor (not measurable by a number).

    And the Logitech Anywhere MX & Performance MX do not have published DPI numbers. MOst people estimate it to be somewhere in the neighborhood of ~1800dpi, and a USB polling rate of 125Hz.
