How long does it take to charge the mouse, between uses?

Like most battery operated electronics it depends upon how far you drain it down, but generally about an hour.

I generally charge it for about ten to fifteen minutes and work a full time job and it's never really died on me...If I get up to leave the computer I'll usually just hook it up and when I come back unplug it and I'm good to go. Never had it die on me yet.

I use rechargeable batteries and I typically leave the mouse switched on all of the time and let it sleep on its own when inactive. I have a number of devices with rechargeable AAAs so I always have some AAAs ready and fully charged. I have one Toshiba mouse on each of two computers that I use a lot. I would say that the rechargeable batteries go a couple of months per charge. I will keep closer track on my next battery changes to give you a more precise estimate. Jim

In answer to your question, I am not sure as I have had it plugged in which I used it but I am sure it could give about 2 hours or more and I am sure if you look on the instruction that it will tell you there how long between charges. I truly like this product very much and I even hooked it up to a tv and watched dvds on the tv with it. It is brilliant.

You use the USB charger and charge it when It is connected to your computer. I think it's supposed to have about 18 hours of charge when fully charged.

The mouse takes one AA battery. The one that comes with the mouse is not rechargeable, but I know you can purchase rechargeable batteries if that's something you wanted!

Charge the battery for 9-16hrs, for the first time, before turning on the laptop (even if green light comes on before the 9-16hrs time frame, leave it alone). After that, turn it on and turn off completely. Next, you use the laptop as you normally do. Remember, these batteries have an approx 500-2,000 charge life. This means, if you unplug the laptop at 80% and plug it back in , it just used one of the charges.

How long? Several hours at a time, I think. Yes, it can be used while plugged in, but the mouse's physical range is then limited by the cord.

I have never fully discharged it so I can't say how long a full charge would take. I recall that the first charge took under an hour. However, I have used it for well over 4 hours without a charge and a re-charge takes about 30 - 45 minutes +/-. I use a standard charger not the USB port on the computer. Seems fast to me.

I haven't actually timed it but I guess it takes between 2 to 3 hours. It depends on if you are using it while charging.

Regina, that's a good question. The info sheet that came with the device claimed I think 150 hrs. of continuous use, which seemed like a misprint to me. When I plug the charger in the blue light comes on but goes out within about 5 minutes, which may mean it's charged. I think I'll wait until it runs out to learn the answer as I can always go back to the onscreen keyboard while it charges. You might ask someone who's owned it longer.Charles

Had mine for about 3 months, charged it about half-dozen times. System Preference has an icon when you load up the Logitech Software that will indicate how low the battery is. IIRC that software will also tell you, if you forget, to recharge it. I simply plug mine into the USB port on the keyboard, and continue to use but a couple hours later it's all good. I got mine at half the price of Apple's and most pleased. Took the Magic Pad back.

The mouse takes a pair of AAs, which I prefer because I'm already fairly invested in rechargeable AAs and it mean zero down-time. I haven't had the mouse long enough to judge battery life, but I can tell you what I know: I have had the mouse for about a month and have used it sparingly during that time. I picked it up used on eBay and it came with alkaline AAs inside, which seem to be going strong.

It takes mine about 20 minutes charging from my computer. I normally get about a week and a half out of a charge.

Not very long. It is always charged and ready for me as I replace it on the charger between uses.

I usually change it over the night, so I haven't counted the hours. But I guess it probably would take about 3 hours. BTW, the 110V power -> USB adapter is not included.

it takes a long time, im not really sure because i usually charge it with the adapter it came with, but if i had to guess i would say around 16 hours or longer.

I think forty minutes would be plenty of time for it to charge enough for use. You can use it while charging it but it will charge faster if it is turned off. I hope you are as pleased with the replacement cord as we were. Our computer was old but still works well and is less complicated than some of the more modern operating systems. The replacement cord worked as well as the original but it didn't light up like the original did.
