Mouse issue

[The Savage]

So I've got a brand-new mouse, which you plug to the USB port. The problem is that mouse seemingly tend to disconnect or turn off during usage - but also lags a lot during usage. At first, I thought that's battery ( those are AAA Rechargeable Batteries) issue, but there's no way a wireless mouse would be so much powerhungry (fresh recharge and one hour?). Additionally, I plugged it out from the backside USB port to the front panel, with little avail.

Right now, it's connected to the backside USB port through USB extension and it seemingly works better.
Edit: it doesn't. Lag is still present.

What could be issue of that? Might that be another wireless device that would cause problems (X360 Controller)?

Item in question:
OMEGA Wireless 2.4 GHz Optical Mouse

If no other USB devices have this problem then it is the mouse's fault. I would send it back and change it with another one of the same model.

I put the wireless plugged to the USB extension closer to the mouse and it doesn't lag. It might be short range, bit that would be ridiculous, but on the other hand - it could be mouse for laptop use only (I use stationary PC).

Edit: The problem is it is a gifted mouse and I have no receipt or any idea where it was bought.

I've changed rechargeable batteries and the other ones work fine. Is there any possibility that one set of batteries might not be compatybile with wireless mouse, because I highly doubt the set of batteries I had been using for the mouse would be faulty.

That's not HP mouse in the first place, I'm afraid. Moverover, it doesn't have on/off button.

Edit: Added up a link what mouse model it is in OP.

if its interference from other equipment you should be able to find a time when it works ok as the people using those will stop at some point ie when they sleep.
but firstly you need to start using the recomended Alkaline batteries
this is because the rechargables you are using will have a lower terminal voltage than the Alkaline types (1.25V vs 1.5V)
so your mouse will behave like the battery is run out

I stopped using alkaline batteries five... no... six or seven years ago and I've never got problems with any mouse with rechargeable batteries. Anyhow, I do believe the problem is solved after I've changed them onto other rechargeables.

The possible fault is that rechargeables might have been faulty, as I put older ones from form I trust and no single DC happened aup to this time.
