Is it good for gaming?

In my opinion it's a pretty small mouse and use it for traveling I like to have a bigger mouse for gaming and every day use. when I originally bought it I thought I could use it to replace a larger mouse but ended up I couldn't it wasn't comfortable enough but it folds up nicely and now I keep it in my travel bag.

What kind of batteries does this use?

It uses 'triple a' (shown in picture of packaging and manual).
