How long am I to expect the battery for this to last?
I am a pretty frequent user and within 4 days the battery is 81% already. Is this normal?

Best AnswerMine lasted less than a month. I kept it on all day and only turned it off at night (that doesn't mean it was used all day though but I am a pretty heavy computer user). That's just from the batteries that came with it.
I have rechargables in now that have been in there for less than 2 days. They are at 69% (but rechargeables in my experience do not last as long as disposable batteries).- Answered by Alice C from Lynnwood

Best Answer
To move the pointer, you simply move the mouse. To scroll, place a finger on the mouse and swipe in the direction you want to scroll. To click, place your finger(s) on the top and push down. To secondary click, place one finger on the left or right side (see preferences to set which side) and push down. To go back/forward in Safari, iPhoto, Finder, or similar applications, place two fingers on the top and swipe left or right.
