New battery in wireless mouse

I put a new battery in my wireless mouse and although it shouldn't
make any difference it seemed to make the it more responsive and
focused. Is there some reason this would happen?

Most likely just knocked some dust or dirt off the optical sensor.

I would say it depends on the mouse. I have on that will work well past
the point where the batteries turn green and totally destroy the battery
compartment.

It's not a logitec
It's not wear on the bones in your wrist
It's not that your eyes need glasses
It's not a $300 gaming mouse

No. More likely you just knocked some dust around.

By some canned air and give it some puffs every once in a while.

We live with things until we finally do something about it, and then
suddenly it looks so much better.

I'd put off changing the ribbon in my typewriter, but the minute I put in
a new one, I could see how much better it was. The old one lost it's
potency over a long time, so I slowly adjusted. I couldn't tell how bad
it had really gotten, until I saw the new ribbon in place.

I notice the same thing with remotes, over a long period it gets fussier
and fussier, until I finally have to do something, which is to change the
battery. And there's a dramatic improvement. That's because it is back
to full operation, while I lived with the slow decay over a long time.

If the wireless connection between the mouse and the computer was decaying
because the battery was getting weak, the responsiveness might go down
because it was spending time repeating itself to get the information out
(I have no idea of what's in the wireless link from a mouse, or if it is
two-way so the computer can tell it to repeat). Or if the battery got
really ow, it might start affecting operation.

Best to replace the batteries earlier.

You're right, Flashy.

Mivchael you need to get with the times if you're still using an old
fashioned typewriter. Give it to the grand kids and get yourself a
decent HP Laser Jet.

You should be more like me, then, and use a Logitech Trackman Marble;-
apparently I just break (the delicate programmable touch sensors) and
have to go out and keep repurchasing them for new units. No real
issues, otherwise, than being on my third unit since I first taught
myself to be a southpaw trackball user (more intuitive to regain the
key-to-hand placement than a right-handed mouse operand). Logitech
might advertise: Once you've used one, damned fresh batteries just
won't do anymore. It's the cheapest USB unit they make, I found on
sale at Best Buy last week for $20;- the RF/IR in the same-unit make
is a third or more expensive.

I'm fine, though, just peachy, with a damned good, convential
battery-operated wireless mouse on my other computer. Also a
Logitech, but only so long as I don't have to type or actually do much
else other than what multimedia comuters demand. It's so very
classic: I've truly a glass coffee table it will, besides, work from
upon.

And I tried like hell, honestly, I really did, not to buy from that
BestBuy sale on a Logitech - tried every angle I could to justify
changing and buy a Kensington trackball, instead.

I've been using trackballs for about 18 years now. At one time, I had
the Logitech Cordless Trackman Opical, and excellent mouse. However,
after that one bit the dust after years of heavy use, I replaced it with
a Kensington Slimblade. By far, it's the best trackball I've ever used.
