what sort of life are folks getting out of batteries in their wireless mouses?

I have three...
Two have yet to need a new set. One of those has been running since a few days after they were introduced. That particular mouse is still at about 80%. The other is only a week old and is still at 100%.
One exhibited exactly the behavior you describe. It was toast after two days of normal use. When those died I popped in a set of fresh Duracell Ultras. After say a couple weeks, that mouse is at 80%.
At this point, I'm diagnosing that mouse as having come with a set of dud batteries. It
is draining faster than the other two, but I would surmise Lithium Energizers are better than Duracell Ultras.
The "working" Energizers are displaying such spectacular battery life, if it was the mouse that drained them, those Duracells would have been slag in a day.
P.S.: I never turn them off.
