I have a IHome (I am not sure if it is wireless or infrared). It has a little device that plugs into a USB port. Anyways The mouse and the keyboard both run on 2, each, AAA battery's. The 2 AAA battery's in the keyboard last a real long time but the 2 battery's in the mouse I have to change quite often. A brand new AAA battery mesures 1.8 volts in my battery tester. But when the battery voltage in each battery is down to 1.5 volts (still well in the green good zone) the mouse movement gets jurky, sluggish and the aerrow lags behind the mouse. Why does this mouse use so much juce up?

The gateway laptop model MD2614U died because a voltage regulator on the motherboard went poof. The Gateway laptop has been scraped.
At the mouse, don't you have a button to synchronize sender and receiver?
I use to have this problem. It was solved by placing the receiver close to the mouse.

On the left side of the mouse is 3 rereceded buttons with what looks like braille dots on them, then 2 buttons that look like the volume controls on my tablet with the < and > markings on them. On the top behind the mouse wheel is a button with CPI on it. The mouse is very close to the receiver.

At the mouse, don't you have a button to synchronize sender and receiver?

Don't you have a small button under the mouse?
