Kung wireless optical, lakas komonsumo ng battery, a rechargeable batt will last 20 hours use. Ordinary batts will last for a couple of days more.

Wired optical naman, malikot at mas sensitive ang sensore kesa sa regular mouse.

May nakapagsabi sa akin optical mouse ay maganda raw gamitin kung ang traction surface ay made of wood lang. No paint or mouse pad present.
