MX700 battery question

Showtime · 12-15-2003, 07:28 PM

I picked up that MX duo a couple of weeks ago and I curious what people do with the mouse when its not being used. Do you always put it in the charger/cradle or do you leave it out til its on empty. Once the red light starts blinking about how long do I have before it craps out?
Im under the assumption the keyboard will go at least 6 months depending on use... Whadaya getting?

Wireless is the best. I wish I would have gotten some wireless headphones too, but those low end Sennheiser's were too hard to resist at $35.

ps: Anyone get the bluetooth MX900? Does it work differently?

I wish I could remember to throw the mouse in the cradle every night.

Once the light starts flashing, you probably have about an hour or so of life. I keep my old (PS2) mouse plugged in as well, so I have something to keep me going when I've forgotten to charge the MX700.

I don't put it on the cradle until it starts flashing red at me. Usually about 3 days of use. Then it takes somewhere between 3 - 4 hours (i'm guessing, because i don't time it) but it is definantly longer than an hour. the only time i used it after the red started blinking, it took about half an hour of general usage before it died.
