HI I HAVE BEEN USING RECHARGEABLE ALAKALINE BATTERIES IN MY MOUSE. CAN I USE
NICAD OR NICKLE METAL HYDRIDE INSTEAD? OR SHOULD I NOT BE USING RECHARGABLES?
 
If the batteries are designed to replace alakaline ones, then there should
not be a problem.

Also, please learn how to use the CAPS LOCK key correctly. By posting in
all capitol letters, you are considered to be yelling out for an answer.
 
I have used both Nickle Cadium (NiCD) and Nickle Metal Hydride (NiMH)
batteries in my Microsoft BlueTooth Wireless Keyboard and Mouse without
any problems. They do only provide 1.2 volts instead of the 1.5 volts
supplied by normal Alkaline batteries, but this seems to be accepted by
the hardware anyways.

Learn to spell. It's N-I-C-K-E-L (you're a Yank, you of all people should
know that) C-A-D-M-I-U-M.

I use a microsoft wireless keyboard and optical mouse with rechargable
batteries and have had nothing but problems with them... (both NiCad and NiMh)

for starters neither product has a lowe battery warning indicator (duh!)
and even with freshly rechardged batteries I have not been able to get a
reliable usage range of more than 2 feet from either the mouse or the
keyboard. (even though the box says 6).
Further more.. recently the mouse has stopped responding on surfaces that it
used to work fine on... ie bedlinen leather wood etc.. I tried cleaing the
underside lazer diode with metho and qtips but no luck (replacing freshly
charged batteries etc)..

any ideas.. or is this just another unrealiable microsoft product.
