Thank you for proving my point!

I have a Logitech wireless mouse that does not have an on-off switch.
I bought a small velvet bag to carry this mouse (and batteries) in after I pull the batteries out
when traveling with it.

Please show me someone who removes the batteries from their travel mouse.

from the mouse ?



A couple of alternatives before buying a new mouse.

*1 Try an old fashioned Tethered ball mouse... and one that you know
works....
*2 Clean the mouse inside (which may invovle unscrewing it)
*3 Reinstall Windows.


BTW.. For Wireless Optical Mouse designers... how about an ON/OFF
switch please to save battery life!


Surely you don't mean that. A software auto-on (immediately when movement sensed) and auto off
(after a certain period of inactivity) is far superior.

unless it's in your briefcase!
