I have had a Logitech Cordless Desktop S510 Mouse and Keyboard and a
replacement S520 Mouse and Keyboard in the past two years. (The mouse
went hinky on me in about 11 months in the S510 combo.)

While the S510 package mouse lived, it used up a pair of AA batteries
every month - there was no on/off switch - in about four hours of use
per day. The keyboard batteries lasted the entire time.

The S520 package mouse had an on/off switch so the batteries lasted
longer. Again, the keyboard didn't need batteries in the 4 months I
used it before getting a new computer with USB-wired mouse and
keyboard.

I also have a wireless IntelliMouse Explorer that I never turn off. Very
seldom have to change batteries.

We have a Microsoft in the office as well and I believe we get 5 to 6 months
out of the batteries.

As for a mouse I have a Logitech G7 which comes with 2 batteries and a
charger. I use the mouse from 8:30am - 5:00pm every day at work. The battery
lasts me all day.. I usually have to swap the battery once a day.

It lasts ONE day, the battery he inserted the previous day dies and he
swaps it with the one from the charger. Clear now?
