Opened it up, only to be greeted with freshly squeezed battery juice dripping out of the battery Mouse worked fine with new batteries, so no short in there. Was even high end Duracell
minus-squaredavidgro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·2 days ago high end Duracell This has become an oxymoron in the last few decades.
minus-squareimrighthere@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 days agoBought out by berkshire hathaway in 2016 and they’ve been absolute garbage since then. I haven’t bought them for years, they aren’t worth anything.
