Hi Severin. Mine is December 2012, so 4 years old. I used to have issues with is disconnecting and reconnecting a lot. Then I read about AA batteries being slightly different lengths. So I was advised to put some small pieces of folded aluminium foil at the terminal ends. This has the effect of packing out the battery and compensating for the shorter ones.
I did this for about 12 months and had very little problem. But I eventually removed the foil and since then no problems. I must have acquired longer batteries lately ! I just wish Apple would produce a wired magic mouse ! I get a bit fed up with changing batteries. That is why my keyboard is wired with a full numeric keypad. > On 19 Dec. 2016, at 4:34 pm, Severin Crisp <[email protected]> wrote: > > What is the usual lifetime of a Magic Mouse.
