I agree with Paul, about the Logitech Performance MX mouse eating batteries. Paul, I replaced my rechargeable battery with an energizer nh15 <http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-NH15-Pre-Charged-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00I9KXJ8I> which now gives me 3-4 days of constant use. Still not great but better.
