Might not be the best deal but it's still a reasonable price and a great mouse. I've had it for over a year and no issues yet. Great for traveling.

One feature I would like to see on a wireless mouse used for travel is the option to go tethered or untethered, in case the battery id dead. It should also charge the battery while tethered. That would be killer

You could hack that out...

1) Get a panel mount DC barrel jack or 3.5mm mono phone plug jack and affix it where there is free space in the mouse (meaning check clearance, drill appropriate sized hole, put it where a little 1.5mm deep mounting nut on the outside won't be in the way of your hand in use.

2) Wire it to the battery contacts in the mouse.

3) Grab a spare USB cord, lop off the device connector end, solder on the mating plug to #1 above, a DC barrel plug or 3.5mm phone plug, with a ~ 22 Ohm, 1W resistor in series. Barrel jack and socket are preferred since that type can't *easily* short out if it touched a metal surface while a phone plug is easier to short out by accident if left unplugged from mouse but still plugged into (laptop, etc) the host's USB port.

Result is a trickle charger that would pull the battery pack up to a usable voltage within seconds, that charges at no more than 227mA and if left plugged in accidentally when the mouse is fully charged, subjects the battery to no more than...

1 x NiMH cell @ 1.45V = 161mA
2 x NiMH cells @ 2.9V = 95mA

161mA would be slightly on the high side to continue charging a single AAA cell more than a couple add... [Truncated]
