Does anybody else have a constant problem with a wireless mouse?

Mine is absolutely power-hungry. It's pretty much one AAA -sized battery per a week. I don't understand, why, since my remote controls get 2/3 batteries to last almost a year and I do use them about the same, if not even more...

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.
