I don't think running out in the middle of something is possible with
Logitech's mx1100.
- It takes plain AA cells. No need to worry about the limited lifespan
of a proprietary li-po cell that isn't available as a spare part.
- You can fill it with one or two cells, allowing you to trade weight
for runtime[1].
- Loaded with a single eneloop[2], mine needs more than three months for
the red battery indicator to start pulsing occasionally. It still
works for more than a week in this state, giving you plenty of time to
ready a spare rechargable.
I have been categorically excluding cordless mice as well, but the
mx1100 actually seems to be a decent design.
Footnotes:
[1] The OEM version does only take a single cell.
[2] At the moment I use decrepit NiMH cells with it which are unusable
in high current-drain devices, but still work for more than a month
in the MX1100.
