Thats pretty good. What brand do you use? I've been using duracells and have had to change them 3 times since I got my mouse and keyboard in October... but I've never changed the keyboard's.

I believe Apple is using the Engergizer Titanium Batteries for their Mouse.

Apple and Intel, the dawning of a NEW era.

Actually, they are Energizer Lithium Batteries. There's definitely a difference. The main thing has to be the weight. The Lithiums advertise as being one of the lightest on the market. I picked up a 4 pack of Lithiums and Titaniums and the Lithiums were definitely lightter.

The mouse is just about the weight of a regular pro mouse. Adding batteries just makes it heavier. So Apple was smart to put the lightest batteries possible.

And mine lasted 3 months and a week. Amazing.
