    You get what you pay for. If this is a mouse you will use as your primary device then spend a few quid and buy something decent which feels and works like you want, there are some woeful things out there !

    I use my wireless mouse a lot - 4 hours plus most days of the week - it's an Apple Magic Mouse which is Bluetooth - and I get about 3 to 4 months from a pair of Duracell AA batteries. If your computer has Bluetooth then consider making use of it as it saves using an extra wireless dongle which will take up a USB port.

    The link you gave shows a keyboard, mouse and a small USB dongle. The dongle is proprietary and is required for the keyboard/mouse to work.

    I've had a Logitech MX series mouse for years. It has an inbuilt battery which charges from stand/wireless point. It's really comfortable to use and it doesn't fall apart when dropped on a solid floor. I can't remember the model number, it was on the mouse but it's worn off.

    I wouldn't bother with a mouse with built-in rechargeable battery. My Logitech M-1000 wireless mouse takes 2 X AA batteries and they last several months. Currently using the last of the yellow IKEA batteries which are otherwise crap but they're giving good service in this case.

    I own a logitech Darkfield and it last approximately 1 week without charge. Great wireless mouse in my opinion
