However when I went to the electronics store and said I needed stronger batteries for it and they asked me how long they last I replied "Well I start gaming at 10am and by 8pm they're already empty" they fought really hard not to laugh

I would consider buying a new mouse, I replace my batteries on my wireless mice about once a month on heavy use.

I got a Microsoft Natural 4000 at work and I loved it so much I bought one for home use. Admittedly, it's not the best for gaming, but I use it without any problems.

Well duh. That's what was wrong with it. I don't care for wireless for gaming, but you can get something acceptable *if* you pay for it. 30 bucks barely gets you can acceptable wired keyboard these days.. then you want to add reliable wireless on top of it? Not gonna happen.

You're nuts.

I have a Logitech Wireless mouse, and used it for the longest time, but they're really straining on long playtimes. Wireless mouses tend to be significantly heavier than a wired, and extended use can have adverse effects on your wrists/forearms (it's about 5x heavier than my Wired Microsoft Optical mouse).

Wireless keyboard works fine and rarely needs batteries changed, but I don't move my keyboard around enough to continue using it. Microsoft keyboards suck if you plan on using the function keys, btw; wouldn't suggest it (you have to hit a toggle button to turn them on, and it's off by default).

Well the wired keyboard I had been using didn't even have a brand listed on it, and I got it at a computer fair about 9 years ago for about $10. I never had any issues with it, other then the cord. Cord was only about 4 feet long and only a few months ago starting getting shorts in it.

Anyway I finally decided screw it and bought a new g15. I made my own thread worthless.
