I don't understand this.  These things are little receivers you plug
into a USB port and the mouse has 2 batteries in it (either AA or AAA).
The ranges vary from 3 feet to 3 meters.

Prices range from ~ $US 8 to ~ $ US 70  !  I'm willing to spend
up to about $20 on a mouse, but I'd like to know that I'm getting
something that will still be working after two years or so.

Thanks,

Arnold
