Wireless mouse flashes when pc is turned off
 

I have had the mouse for ages and it has always flashed while the pc is off. its a dell mouse and came with my pc. i was wondering if all wireless mice flashed while the pc was off and if i could buy one that dosent as the mouse is now near where i sleep and i am not very good at taking batteries out of things at 4:AM.

thanks

All wifi optical mice flash IIRC after some time. If its wireless and uses batteries it should turn itself off after about 10 minutes if it is not disturbed. Try turning it upside down and see if it shuts itself off. Mine would often stay on because it detected a difference on the optical sensor, even if it hadn't moved.

My wireless mouse used to do this - very annoying as my computer is right next to my bed :mad: I've gone back to an optical cord mouse now. :)

My wireless Microsoft mouse uses a usb adaptor - when not in use the adaptor is slotted into it's holding space on the underside of the mouse which switches the mouse off thus saving the battery.

Sounds almost obscene!;)

if its a normal optical usb mouse its mainly to do with the power thats still in the USB port.

only way to fix this is if you totally unpower your machine every time you switch it off.

Not 100% true, the microsoft cordless optical mice flash all the time unless you take the batteries out.

How about a nice laser mouse? they've gotten quite resonable lately i picked a basic mini logitech laser mouse up for my laptop for £10 in pcworld :shocked:
