well the only thing I can think of is
1) use good batteries not cheap ones
2)make sure the mouse light on the bottom is clean
3)make sure the battery contacts are clean and not rusty or corroded
4)don't use the mouse too far from the computer the signal has to travel further
If all else fails and it is possible - turn the mouse off when you are done.

@MarmeeMarch Well... 5) Throw the mouse to the wall of the local P.D. Let them figure out, who murdered the device.

@ZonkeyBalls You will be fine - just buy another one - keep the receipt and packaging so if you have to return it you can with not problem.

@midnightrose That's the funny part. This model doesn't even have a power switch, so it's on all of the time.

@Gusman "Great success!" Let me do the same with this piece of platypus crap, so people can avoid it like the plague...
By the way, that "DPI" switch does absolutely nothing. First, I thought it would be the power switch, but to this date, I have found no actual purpose for its existence. It doesn't slide, it goes down and does nothing to the hardware. Perhaps it's a practical joke of sorts?

@ZonkeyBalls DPI
DPI stands for "Dots Per Inch". ... If a mouse has a DPI button, it typically means you can change the speed of the mouse's on-screen movements on the fly by simply pressing the button. Most mice that have dedicated DPI buttons have preset DPI configurations.

@Gusman Yes, I know what DPI stands for - I have two diplomas in computer sciences. I just didn't bother to look, if there was anything written on the silly button, so I obviously thought it would be a power button. Still, the speed... No change, it remains the same. Thus, no purpose what-so-ever.

What kind (meaning brand / model) of mouse is it? How old? I had an old one that I thought ate batteries like popcorn -- but even that wasn't one per week.
Any relatively modern mouse should not do that. You should get weeks to many months. I get a year (more or less) out of my Logitech M705 and it's used a LOT. Maybe yours is sick.

@RealtaReoite This is - ironically enough - "Trust". I would trust this brand that much.
RealtaReoite · 61-69, M
@ZonkeyBalls How about getting a mouse from a real manufacturer? The Logitech ones are pretty cheap and reliable.
I wouldn't "trust" yours ass far as I could throw it.

@RealtaReoite I used to have both Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse and they worked miracles... But then I sold them and even my ASUS has a really awful keyboard, but considering the price of this laptop (199 €, 14", SSD) it's not too shabby. At least I have a big flatty as my external display.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic No, I use regular batteries.

@ZonkeyBalls You're one crazy Finn I'll give you that my friend.
ZonkeyBalls · 46-50, M
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Friends forever, even when you destroy the rest of my jaw, brother.

@MarmeeMarch I managed to break my wired one, which is something not that many people have managed to do, as far as I know.
