My work computer has a wireless keyboard/mouse. I had some questions about the battery life as well, so I took to writing the install date on the batteries... The one in my mouse was installed on 4/14/15 and shows no sign of dying at the moment. (Single Duracell AA alkaline cell) From memory, the last one gave up at about five months. (and I spend a good part of my day in a CAD package that is all mouse work) If I had a mouse that consumed a battery in a single day - It'd be in the scrap bin.
