Honestly, whoever you are, drivers don't charge mice. As it happens I have
spent over $20 purchasing batteries, just in case there was a problem with
the battery manufacture. I can absolutely affirm that the faulty manufacture
came from Microsoft: either the mouse driver is faulty, or by some bizarre
fluke the new mouse hardware broke at the very instantr that a Microsoft
driver updated Vista.
