| I have a Logitech cordless mouse and the alkaline batteries that came with it (AA variety) died. I put in a couple of my rechargeable nickel dicads and now the mouse is kinda herky jerky when it comes to fine adjustments... Is this normal? If I put alkalines back in will that make it good again? |

| I doubt that the type of battery has an influence on the performance of the mouse (unless they are not charged properly). Well, try it out. Put in different batteries and see how the mouse behaves. Do some science! Control for other factors. Maybe you'll discover something interesting. Let us know! ;-) |

Low batteries can do it, nicads have a lower voltage than alkalines. Nimh batterys are closer in voltage.
A dirty sensor can do it also.

I had a similar issue with rechargeable batteries and my mouse - now use duracell in it and all is well again :)

They must be old batteries if they're nicads. Is your charger charging them to their full capacity? I would invest in NiMH batteries, lots of specials around for a set of 4. Plus, make sure your charger can charge the new batteries, no sense in using an old charger on newer batts. b/c they won't attain their full power level with old chargers.

Should work ok if you put the alkaline cells back in. Logitech has some wireless mice designed for recharging. If you have one of these the batteries should already be in the mouse and not have to be replaced for years. If your's is this type there should be a docking station for the mouse to recharge in. If not it probably is meant to use dry cells. They are usually about 1.55 volts where ni-cads and niMh are usually around 1.3 volts.
It could be enough difference to cause problems. |
