Here are my observations:

I've had the bluetooth keyboard/mighty mouse combo for around 1.5 months. Thus far, my Mighty Mouse has gone through 2 sets of batteries, now on the 3rd pair. My keyboard, on the other hand, still uses the original batteries. The difference between the purchase/use dates is a few days. So I purchased each of them separately with a difference of a few days. Is this normal? Both are Bluetooth wireless and yet one ate through 4 batteries and the other hasn't even finished the first 2.... :confused::confused::confused:

I assume you mean "hasn't even finished the first 3". My guess is you use the mouse much more than the keyboard... remember, it's not just the clicks, it's the movement, too. I use a Logitech wireless mouse and 2 AAA typically last me 3 months or more, using it 15+ hours a day, 7 days a week.
 
Sorry about that. I meant to say 3. Seeing how everyone gets a mighty mouse and then switches to a Logitech, I might go that route as well. thanks for the input though.
