Are there any problems using rechargeable batteries in bluetooth keyboard/mouse? For some devices (CD players, etc...) the batteries don't seem to last long. Any experiences??

I've used them in my mouse without too many problems. I think at the moment, I am using disposable batteries, because my mother bought a ton of them and they were just sitting there in her house, going bad.

But yes, if you use NiCad rechargeables, you probably will have to swap them out somewhat more often than disposable batteries. But, on the whole, not insanely often.

Don't step into the kawoosh...
It depends on what power of rechargables you get. I have rechargables in my digital camera and they last a lot long then disposable. just get some that are like 2300-2500 mAh and they should last quite a while.
