Do all wireless mice need batteries? null

Yes. Microsoft wireless mouses use up battery very slowly so it's important that you use Alkaline AA batteries (non rechargeable) in single-battery models. The difference is NiMH batteries run on 1.2V and Alkaline run on 1.5V. Most rechargables discharge at a constant rate even when not in use so the usable voltage will be less...shortening your transmit range and causing errors and erratic behavior. I normally get 6-12 mo of time between changes.

I have yet to see a wireless mouse ... not have a battery..... so to answer your question... Yes.... all wireless mice have a battery or batteries.. usually AA or AAA

Yes. It is possible there is a solar powered mouse somewhere, but it would need a battery to store the energy that might be needed in the dark. I do not think nuclear powered mice are on the horizon. :)

No, some use usb to charge - like Apple mouse
