does the G9 use battery? What type? What is normal life? Can it be wired direct?

Yes the G9 uses battery. The battery come inside the device. My device has 3 years of use and still working. The device cannot be wired directly.

Its an internal rechargeable battery, my previous set was a G4 used it for four years and batteries gave me no problem at all. I have used G9s for nine continuous hours. I have not tried direct wiring.

It has a built in rechargeable battery that lasts about 10 hours with music on - longer if you just use the intercom feature. It recharges in a few hours.

It's rechargeable. It last about 12+/- hours of use. I don't think it can be wired direct

Just plug in when you stop to stretch your legs and the battery will outlast you

I got my 9-cell off of ebay and it was around 7-7.5 hours reported with wireless but no bluetooth, though I didn't actually use it that long. It does add a lot of weight, I think the battery might weigh almost as much as the laptop :D

As long as your battery cover is Qi enabled the G3 works. I have Verizon and had to replace my cover but once changed out it worked great.

Expect a lot of variation around the mean here, battery-life depends on a lot of things. That said, battery life is about six months when the device is used approx. 3x weekly. Nice thing about this device is that it uses cheap and widely available 9 volt batteries, just carry a spare in your golf bag -- but the device will give you plenty of warning that the battery is low.

It just takes a regular 9v. So prolly 24-36 hours of straight use. But not totally sure. You would be better to look up what a 9v battery can do.

The defect we're referring to is not affected by the battery compartment being open or closed.It's good to hear your G9 doesn't have the defect.

Battery life is fine, I've only had to actually replace them one time since my purchase. Checked the mouse with new batteries to make sure the issues weren't battery related, but they persisted so I stuck the old batteries back inside every time. So one battery change after ~4.5 months of fairly heavy daily use.

On the G2, you can run it off an AC adapter and use it. My wife has taken it and used it on cruises we have gone on. I assume the G3 is similar. If you use it in this way, I would get an external charger and at least 2 batteries so you can charge one outside the actual unit.

Assuming your current battery is 40ah or less, I would use the G1100 model.

yes, wireless usb plug in stores under the mouse which turns it off and conserves the battery when you unplug it. I have only needed to change the battery once in a year, and I use rechargables.

Contained in Logitech's press releases on their site, they state that both the G9 mouse and the G15 keyboard will be released in Sept. '07. The mouse is available, so I would suspect the keyboard will be released within a week.TTx

The mouse takes one AA battery. The one that comes with the mouse is not rechargeable, but I know you can purchase rechargeable batteries if that's something you wanted!

The keyboard uses a single AA-Battery, while the mouse uses two AAA-batteries. So far, the mouse has lasted about two to three months (I did not turn off the mouse, I left it in stand-by, which is good). As for the keyboard, I recently had to replace the battery, but I believe it was more on the battery's side that the keyboard didn't last long. I recommend that you use Duracell or Energizer batteries for your keyboard and mouse to play on the safe side.Also, the customer support for VIOTEK is very good. My keyboard broke and they replaced it without me having to pay for a new one, so should a problem arise, they can replace it if you have the proper information.

Micheal is spot on - wired one is probably 1/2 to 2/3 lighter than the wireless - I would say compared to any other mouse with a battery in it - it would be relatively equal.

Because Logitech hasn't made this mouse in almost 6 years, and it's an AMAZINGLY popular mouse. Also are you certain the one you saw in the store was a G5 and not the new G500?

Would love keyboards of this caliber to start having being wired/wireless (Just a built in battery). That way, even though the battery might not be able to sustain it for more than 5 - 6 hours, you can just go right back to the desktop, plug it in, and continue to use it.

Battery AA. Life of battery is extremely long. I think I have replaced it once since I purchased mouse. The battery is replaceable. Just a note it really is a great wireless mouse works perfectly. It is small but works wonderful.
