Like any battery claim, you can’t take it as concrete — it’ll be more than three years if you don’t use it much, less than three years if you’re above whatever Logitech considers average. But the bottom line is, you won’t have to think about changing the batteries. Maybe ever. And for a wireless device, that’s a rarity. Optical tracking plus 2.4GHz wireless connectivity for $US40 ain’t bad either. [Logitech via Maximum PC]

<3 Logitech gear. One thing I'd really like though, is a mouse with a more powerful RF transciever. I want to use my mouse from pretty much anywhere in the room!

Only annoying aspect, is I hide the received in the USB in the back of my monitor, and I forget to take it with me when I go to another office.
