No, it wasn't flipped upside down, inside or, wrong side out or any other incorrect way.. Chris, those cheap Rayovac batteries may be your problem. I've only put one set of batteries (Duracell) in my wireless in about 8 months or better. EDIT Phil, I tried using a trackball about 8 years ago, when they first hit the scene.. I hated it then.. I hate them now. I prefer tilt wheel scrolling mouse. I bought this KB/mouse combo on sale and I like it thusfar. Battery life is great, the KB feel is good and I love the tilt wheel scrolling mouse... Your milage may, and probably will, vary..

(Apple's "Hockey Puck" mouse, for instance.) A poorly designed wireless mouse might give you few clues as to which way is up unless you look at a logo or something on the outter shell. If the mouse has seen a lot of use, the logo might be worn a way. In a case light that, I can imagine how easy it would be to pick up a mouse the wrong way. As a good real-world example of bad design, look at those super small Nokia cell phones. They're so small and non-descript, when you put it in your coat pocket and the thing starts to ring it takes you half a minute to fish the damned thing out!  |  IP: Logged
