How Do You Turn It Off????

by Sep 4, 2011 4:49AM PDT

I have a Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse and was wondering how do you
turn it off????
I always have to replace the batteries at least twice a month.
I hardly ever have to replace the batteries for the mouse I use
with my netbook and the one I use for the laptop because the have an on and off switch on the bottom.
I'm tempted to buy the mouse I'm using for my netbook that's made
by Tech Universe because besides having an on and off switch it's
the easiest of the 3 mouses I have to replace the batteries in.

Shut it off, positively

If there is not an On/Off switch, or a feature in the mouse to automatically go to a low power mode, then just open the battery area of the mouse and remove all the batteries.

I'd typically think that just removing one (if there are two batteries) would be sufficient, but I have one mouse that seems to use one battery for the scanning LED, and the other used for the associated reading circuitry. So removing ALL of the batteries will positively reduce the power usage to ZERO! Happy

It's a chore, to be sure, but if you are bothered by the consumption of the batteries... a minor task.

Which Logitech?

My Logitech v450 with the nano receiver gets about 6 months between battery changes. I had an older model that ate batteries and I gave it away.

You're welcome but which model is it?
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Sep 4, 2011 7:48AM PDT

Even on the v450 I can really turn it off by holding the power button on the back side for a little over a second. But without the model number I can't check the documentation.

Not Sure

I'm not sure about the model number.
This was a Logitech Wireless Keyboard/Mouse combo

(NT) There are dozens of models that fit that description.
