Mouse battery life. What’s in a number?
If you love the convenience of long battery life, Logitech mice
will make you happy. In fact, the Logitech® Marathon Mouse M705 will
last you up to three years without a trip to the store for two AAs.
See all mice with extended battery life.
But do you ever wonder how we determine battery life? And what about the
disclaimer that’s on every box? “Battery life may vary based on user
and computing conditions.”
In this article, we’ll power you through all the details and go behind the battery-life scene.
|
Behind the numbers
Mouse battery life isn’t a one-size-fits-all number. It varies
more from person to person than just about any other battery-powered
device. And there’s no industry standard for calculating it. We do our
best to come up with a battery life that a typical user can expect to
get. But this can vary greatly depending on your situation. A light user
might get over three years of battery life with a mouse, while a very
heavy user might only get one year with the same mouse.
So how do we calculate our battery life? We studied a variety of real
mouse users and created a profile of a typical user. We then used that
to create a simulation that we run on actual mice.
During the simulation, we measure how much power the mice use and come
up with a battery life estimate—taking into account factors such as how
battery voltage changes over time, which impacts how much power the
mouse uses.

The big factors
There are a lot of variables that can affect the battery life of
your mouse. While there’s no magic formula to figure out exactly how
long your batteries will last, knowing the main factors can help you get
a better idea of what to expect—and in some cases help you go longer
between battery changes.
- How much you use your mouse.
This can vary a lot depending on whether you’re using the mouse all
day, every day for work or just a few hours here and there at home. - How you navigate.
The more you move your mouse, the more power it uses. If you use
keyboard shortcuts that reduce how much you use your mouse, you’ll get
more life out of your mouse batteries. - The types of tasks you do.
Do you spend a lot of time doing mouse-intensive activities, such as
browsing the Internet? Or do you spend most of your time typing e-mails
or documents that involve very little mouse movement? - The type of surface you use it on.
The tracking sensor uses more power than anything else in the mouse.
And the type of surface you use your mouse on affects how much power
the sensor uses. While the best surfaces can vary depending on the
mouse, in general, it’s best to avoid dark, rough or dull surfaces. - Unintended motion.
On the move with your mouse? Be sure to turn it off with the On/Off
switch. While our mice are designed to go to sleep when they’re not
being used, they’ll wake up when they move around inside your bag or in
your hand—and this movement can use a lot of power. - The batteries you use.
Using old, cheap or rechargeable batteries? All of these could
reduce the battery life you get with your mouse. You’ll typically get
the most life from high-quality, fresh batteries. And for best results,
you should replace both batteries at the same time with batteries from
the same package. Mixing brands, types or expiration dates can decrease
battery life, too.
Looking for a mouse with a battery life so long you won’t remember the last time you changed batteries?

Plug-and-forget nano-receiver
You can forget about it
Here’s one less thing to worry about when you’re on the go - your
wireless receiver. That’s because our plug-and-forget nano-receiver
isn’t just small - it’s tiny. You can literally plug it in once and
forget about it.
See all mice with a plug-and-forget nano-receiver

Leave it and love it
With most wireless receivers, you need to plug and unplug them
every time you pack up your notebook. The plug-and-forget nano-receiver
is different. It’s so small it stays nearly flush with your notebook -
so it’s always ready. You just turn off your mouse and go.
|
It’s a stowaway
If you ever want to store the receiver, you can do that, too.
Plus, because you’re not using it, storing your receiver will help
conserve battery life.
Depending on the mouse you’re using, you can put the nano-receiver in
the storage slot (inside the mouse) or slide it into a port (on the back
of the mouse) and - presto! - your mouse turns off.
When you’re ready to get back to business, you simply press the eject
button to release the receiver, plug it into your notebook, and start
working. (Did we mention the nano-receiver is plug and play?)

Pint-sized power
Sure this little guy is about the size of a small coin, but it
packs plenty of power. Nearly all mice that come with the nano-receiver
offer Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity.* That means
you’ll experience virtually no delays or dropouts, even in the busiest
high-tech environments, such as an airport, a coffee shop, or your
neighborhood coffee shop.
If it weren’t so easy to forget about, you might just find this receiver unforgettable.
* The Logitech® VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks was
introduced before we offered Logitech® Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless.

Mice you can get comfortable with
It all adds up
Do you spend a lot of time with your mouse? Repeating the same
hand and arm movements over and over again hundreds, if not thousands,
of times a day? Even the littlest difference in design can make a big
difference in your comfort.
Logitech mice have all sorts of features that help increase your comfort
and help reduce the amount of movement, effort, and strain needed to
get around your computer.
|
A natural fit
If your hand had a choice in the matter, it would naturally take the angle of a handshake when your arm is bent.
We figured nature might be on to something and created mice that are
sculpted and sloped to let your hand take a more comfortable,
handshake-like position. And that means your hand can relax.
See all sculpted mice.
|
A better grip
You lift and move your mouse again and again, all day long. If
it’s hard to hold, it’s going to put a little extra strain on your hand.
But don’t worry—we added non-slip rubber grips to many of our mice to
increase friction and make it easier for you to hold and grab your mouse
without squeezing.
Pick out an easy-to-pickup mouse with rubber grips.
|
All about angles
Extending your wrists and flexing your fingers for hours may not
feel so good. That’s why we make low-profile mice that reduce the angle
you need to extend your wrist. And we carefully place controls so that
most hands can use them without flexing fingers more than 45 degrees.
Check out the low-profile Logitech® Wireless Mouse M505.
|
Navigating to comfort
Comfort features aren’t the only ones that help your hand out. If
you can get where you want to go faster, your hand does less work. Less
work equals more comfort.
Hyper-fast scrolling lets you fly through 10,000 lines of a spreadsheet
with a single spin of the nearly frictionless wheel—something that would
take 1,000 spins and seven minutes to do with a traditional scroll
wheel. In the long run, that’s a whole lot less work that your finger
has to do.
Check out all mice with hyper-fast scrolling.
|
Want more time-saving controls that can save your hand, too?
Side-to-side scrolling plus zoom, application switching, and Forward and
Backward buttons all help you do more things with less effort.
See all mice with advanced navigation controls.

Smooth moves
Is your mouse fighting your moves? We’ve got mice with slick,
low-resistance feet that allow them to glide more smoothly than your
average mouse. When your mouse resists less, you don’t need to work as
hard.
Find a mouse with low-resistance feet.
|
The easy track
You can even choose a mouse that doesn’t make you move very much
at all. A trackball mouse stays in one place—you just move the ball with
your finger or thumb. Plus, customizable buttons help you do more, more
easily.

Logitech® Advanced Optical Tracking: More Mousing on More Surfaces
|
|
From Amazon® to Netflix® to Facebook® , the computer has become
the hub of entertainment and information. But in order to enjoy all
computers and the Internet have to offer, you need something to help you
navigate through this vast digital world. That’s where the trusty
computer mouse comes in.
While more and more people are using laptops and netbooks, many prefer
the ease of a mouse to the tricky finger maneuvers needed to navigate
with a built-in touchpad. However, thanks to the portability of these
computers, mice are now being used in more places and on more
surfaces—from the local café’s metal tables to your tile kitchen
countertop to the polished wood desk in your home office. Glossy
surfaces such as these can be a challenge for standard optical mice
without a mouse pad. But who wants to carry around one more thing?
Logitech Advanced Optical Tracking can track on most of these
challenging surfaces and improve battery life—making it an ideal choice
wherever you use your mouse.
|
Tracking innovation: It’s all about the angles
When Logitech engineers sought to improve the performance of
optical technology on these glossy surfaces, they took inspiration from
laser mice—which offer more precision on more surfaces than their
optical counterparts.
Standard optical and laser mice have the same basic components—a light
source that illuminates the surface beneath the mouse, a lens that
captures the scattered light and a sensor that processes the image
captured by the lens. The more surface detail the light can illuminate,
the easier it is for the sensor to identify reference points that it can
use to accurately measure motion.
The main differences between optical and laser mice have been the light
source used and the angle of the sensor. Standard optical mice use an
LED light and look for scattered (or diffused) light from a sensor
directly above the surface. Laser mice use laser light, which
illuminates surfaces in far greater detail than LED light, and typically
look for scattered light from the specular (or reflective) direction,
which also helps illuminate greater surface contrasts. Because of the
stronger light source and more efficient placement of the sensor,
traditional laser mice are superior to standard optical mice at tracking
on smooth, glossy surfaces with little contrast such as ceramic tile,
metal and polished wood. (Some Logitech laser mice can even track on
glass thanks to their use of darkfield microscopy.)

Building a better (optical) mouse
While Logitech Advanced Optical Tracking uses LED light, we’ve
moved the sensor from a position perpendicular to the surface to an
angle similar to that of a laser mouse. Logitech mice with Advanced
Optical Tracking look for scattered light from the specular (or
reflective) direction—like a laser mouse—instead of capturing light from
above—like standard optical mice.
By changing the angle, the sensor can collect more light and get a
clearer snapshot of the surface. And as a result, the sensor registers
surface contrast better. Because Logitech mice with Advanced Optical
Tracking can process more surface contrast, tracking is more precise
over a greater variety of surfaces, including many of the smooth, glossy
surfaces that are problematic for standard optical mice. And—as an
added bonus—because the sensor collects more light than a traditional
optical mouse’s sensor, less light is needed to illuminate the surface.
So mice with Logitech Advanced Optical Tracking can conserve power and
you’ll enjoy the convenience of a longer battery life.

Get into your digital world
If you think about it for a moment, when you have a mouse
that tracks on more surfaces and gets a better battery life, then you
can forget about the tools (i.e., the mouse) that help you get into your
what you love more, and focus more on what you love. While that might
not be sexy, we think it’s pretty important.
Logitech Advanced Optical Tracking.Better tracking, better battery
life. Better mousing when you’re getting into your digital world.
