It seems that Paul has
run into problems with his Microsoft Unintellimouse.
I needed a new mouse a month or so back, as my current Logitech one had started chewing through the batteries at an insane rate. Even though it's rechargable, something seems to have died, and the batteries lose charge in 6-8 hours, some until they simply stop charging after a week or so. Luckily I had a friend who had mentioned that the version 1 Intellimouse had severe accuracy issues, so I went ahead and bought a version 2 because apparently they fixed the accuracy issues really well, AND the thing has 3 months battery life. Nice!
So anyway, the Intellimouse 2 sits packed up on a shelf at the moment. The reason being that it's incompatiable with my Logitech keyboard - everytime I type with the keyboard, I can't move the mouse, and vice versa, just like a bad speakerphone setup. Incredibly frustrating. However, I did find a set of normal Kodak batteries which run really well in my old mouse, giving me about 6-7 days life in them.. yeah.. it's bad, but it's good.
To hell with all this crap, I'm going back to wires.
