Wireless rechargeable mouse recommendations

Can anyone recommend a decent wireless rechargeable mouse for use with my desktop? Fed up with replacing batteries but I can't seem to find any decent reviews that focus on rechargeable kit. I'd consider a bundle if a rechargeable keyboard & mouse deal was available around.
Looking for a pretty solid mouse than can handle being launched off the couch fairly regularly as that was the end of our last one.

Thanks for any help.

  • Use rechargeable batteries and charger, (obviously needs 2xBatteries) I don't think there is a rechargeable mouse(wait for the posts confirming my naivety :p). I prefer a wired mouse simply because the batteries go flat when you are clicking on the deal / bet / movie of the lifetime and by the time you put in new batteries it has gone:eek:

    Rechargeable wireless mice do exisit - it's just I can't find any recommendations specific to that type of mouse. Lots of 'best mouse' or 'best wireless mouse' but nothing on the rechargeable ones.

    Wired mouse just isn't an option as I have a media centre which I use from the couch in the living room. Would just be a cable nightmare!

    Hi

    I've got a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard. I use rechargeable batteries but always have 2 spare alkaline batteries when they need recharging.

    There is a review on the Logitech one here which has an optional(included not optional cost) ac adapter as well a usb cradle. Logitech are probably ok (if you do not use their software imho) . I did not realise there are ones available with a/c adapters (which is what i alluded to earlier :o)

  • The Logitech MX Revolution is wireless and rechargeable. Comes highly recommended from me.

    Looks like the front runner - thanks for the tips. Now to see if I can get it at a decent price - looks like it's coming in around the £50 mark but for something I use every day then it's worth a bit of investment.

    Play seem to have them about the £50 mark. I'll keep searching in case there's a bargin to be had but that seems to be a decent enough price.
  • I bought two of these http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132124 years ago, I keep one on charge then swap them over when the batteries run down.
