same experience as you... the battery that it came with (energizer) lasted for just about a month for me.

It uses a "AA" battery, it is not included, it can be rechargeable but will not recharge in mouse as there is no constant electrical connection.Wife loves it btw........

It does not take batteries. If its not responding its most likely that either the mouse itself is broken or that there as an issue with the USB port or PC

Hmmmm, I loaned mine to a friend so don't have it with me but...I am pretty sure I stuffed as many batteries as there were obvious slots. If there were anything tricky, I wouldn't have figured it out, believe me. So, if there is only one obvious slot, I guess it requires only one battery. If it works that way, go for it. I have noticed several different, similar-looking sleek wireless mouses (mice?) and it might be that the design has changed or the different manufacturers' products are getting mixed up by whomever is shipping you one. They really are inexpensive and work, no matter which battery configuration it needs. But, again, if the second battery slot isn't obvious, don't worry about it. - jeri Hmmmm, I loaned mine to a friend so don't have it with me but...I am pretty sure I stuffed as many batteries as there were obvious slots.

well I never had problem of ac adaptor with mine although I returned the laptop back due to excessive movement of the cursor or would I say the mouse was so fast that it kept on dragging app on the interface when I move it around to click, anyway try check if your ac adapter is working by plugging it to the laptop and check if the laptop battery shows signs of charging by looking at the right hand lower corner screen where battery icon is to see if it shows or says battery charging, if nt then knw the ac adapter is nt working before you can think of replacing it with a new ac adapter.

No. the charging terminals are located on the mouse. You could charge it up and take it as a spare. My new battery will last for hours on a charge.

Hi Matthew, I can't tell. I just finished the batteries that come with the mouse and now I started using rechargeable batteries. I look at the manual and it's not stated.

No, if you lift the mouse up, and be careful, look and you can see the blue light. The top light is for low battery. Ciao . . . Sal

No, it is wireless only so it will always be running on a single AA battery.So if you are not going to be at a mobile workstation, it's better to use a regular wired mouse to save money on batteries.

Well, I did purchase the little mouse a while back, and I'm very happy with it- it's Great and no problems with my ASUS eee pc. I've used it almost daily for ~5 mo. now, and still have not needed to change battery! --- I recommend it.

1)No it doesn't but I have accidentally left it on overnight for some days and the batteries seem fine. The driver software actually indicates the battery level and has an indicator when the batteries are low. 2)It is optical. 3)The link for the M510 mouse FAQ is http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/wireless-mouse-m510?osid=23&bit;=64 ,there you can click on the software you need, it is useful since I so some gaming.

yes, wireless usb plug in stores under the mouse which turns it off and conserves the battery when you unplug it. I have only needed to change the battery once in a year, and I use rechargables.

I found the solution via Logitech support!This issue sometimes proves to be static energy trapped inside the mouse. Please plug the USB receiver into a different USB port, and use this procedure to drain the mouse of all static energy: 1. Shut off the mouse and remove the batteries.2. Press all the buttons repeatedly for 30 seconds. This will drain all the static energy that may be trapped in the mouse.3. Put the batteries back in the mouse and turn it on4. Wait a few seconds for it to re-connect and test the left click

Bluetooth will consume more battery than other wireless protocol. But mouse will enter a low power mode. My batteries, lithium energizer, last three months of daily, nearly constant use.

No, its a cheap mouse. I Wouldnt buy it unless you are using it for a backup like I did.

as someone who works on computers what I can say that I doubt that your battery is the cause a problem.I have had no problems at all with my computer since I got the new battery.

I do not turn it off. It would save on batteries if I did. I've had to replace the batteries once. You will know when you need to replace them because the mouse will act funny.
