anyone know if a .3v difference is bad for a mouse? the rechargeable battery in my mx performance hasn't been keeping a decent charge for a while and i'm thinking of swapping in just a standard AA(alkaline) battery.

It's highly likely that the battery is fed into a voltage regulator that's converting it into something else anyway, and if so it shouldn't matter at all. You could probably be several volts off even. I can't guarantee yours is built this way though and take no responsibility for what you do based on this information though

I suspect that regardless of how it's made, that much of a voltage change shouldn't have any ill effect. I assume you mean you'd be making it 0.3v higher, but is that even the case? If it's lower I can virtually guarantee it'll be fine as that is exactly what happens when you run any device expecting a normal AA on a rechargable AA. It's been done on a huge variety of things for decades and I've never heard of issues.

Ah I see. Although if it's already designed with a AA in mind, then I'd be reasonably confident it will handle it with no issues. I thought it was an integrated lithium cell or something. If it's a standard AA receptacle they would have to assume people would put all sorts of AAs in there, including 1.5 v models.
