Why is there no cheap wireless gaming mice?

[GreiverBlade]

i really dont see the problem - with 2-3 days of gaming life at maximum settings, what does it matter? i charge my phone more often, and they use the same cable.

6-7 hours is 2-3 days at max settings? (i talk about G700/700s) oh well looking on a different perspective: if you do 2hrs session indeed it can be

talking about the G700 it might be a mix of both world but certainly not the best since the OP ask for a cheap wireless gaming mouse (cheap but reliable) so then only one qualify : the G602 depending where you buy it, it will be near half the price of a G700, off course you have to take the battery problem to the root but with what i stated above about a desk charger and the accu i use, it is still cheaper.

(and for a sidenote ... if i take a wireless mouse i want it to be wireless 100% not 40% of the time... i had a Mamba/G700 and a Orochi while the Mamba had a lot of problems, mainly on the "wired" part the G700 was fine but too low duration wireless. let the Orochi out of the picture ... )

I still like not having to even give it a second thought for over a month. What better? Having to plug it in regularly or being able to simply swap the batteries when they get too low every month and a half, or in Greiver's case, every 3 months. That alone seems to be worth it to me, that way there is no cable.

i game for about 4 hours a day, minimum. then probably about 4 hours of 2D use, facebook, anime, etc. the usage you've claimed is far less than i get on the stock battery (and there are higher capacity sanyo eneloops out there - stock is 2000mah, and they sell 2400's and above)

ok point taken, but still too low for me. if i can do 81 days with a average 10hrs use before recharging battery.
Testing the Energizer Lithium atm, my M705 Marathon finally exhausted her battery ... gosh 3 yrs 11 month 2 weeks so i swapped the actual 602 to the 705, let see what the Lithium can do!

(i wonder where i did read 6-7hrs max duration on max settings ... ahah but i remember reading it ) edit : wait a sec ... i did read it and experiment it ... 8hrs and i had to wire the 700... hum maybe i had a bad batch of accu (i didn't bother to change the bundled accu )
