You can buy rechargeable batteries... Sure you'd have to swap 'em out every couple weeks but that's the sacrifice with their less expensive models. |

How long did they last? This is the first one Ive used -- the MS Intellimouse that I posted about and Ive had it for a week and its going strong. I used to think you had to swap batteries out every other day - horror stories like that. But this isnt bad. If it goes for a month thats not bad. I have lots of rechargeables laying around too since Ive got two Olys that use AA rechargeables. |

Besides the MS intellimouse and optical Im a big fan of the MS multimedia ergo Keyboards too. If you pay the retail price they are like most of the fancy KBs a gross out $40-50. But if you do a simple search online you can find it for $11-14 in the past for the OEM. The place I got mine at did hike the price so it might be $14-18 or so nowadays. Anyway its got a lot of extra buttons which I frankly dont use but its a real ergo and its dark gray at the top and bottom and a darker than usual light gray in the middle so the whole thing doesnt show dirt as easily. I bought two of them I like them so much. The old natural MS ergo is good too but its too white. It gets filthy looking around here in no time. |

Quite annoying when they can't just leave the standard keyboard layout alone. |

The one thing I have to have is a split ergo design and thats really unpopular now. Not a heck of a lot of split ergos nowadays though they are still around if you look. The thing that REALLY bug me is the mini halfsize key design. They use them for Function keys and the arrow keys now. That I cant stand especially if you use the arrow keys to move in games. |
