Thanks. These batteries are rechargeable, right? I was hoping not to |
| 28 |
have to replace batteries as often as I do with my current mouse. The |

multibutton logitech that I remember seeing a year ago had a cradle |
| 30 |
into which the mouse can be placed and recharged. |

I will probably go for the G7 as you recommend. |

Thanks again, |
