Wireless mouse question

Zilchary · 02-19-2008, 04:05 AM

If I have a Microsoft Optical wireless mouse 1000, does it turn it off when I'm afk? because I leave my computer on 24/7.

I don't know about this particular model, but most wireless mice power down into a sort of standby mode after a few minutes, and are reactivated by moving the mouse or clicking a button. This is one of the reasons I switched from a wireless Logitech MX1000 to a wired Logitech G9.

i look at my laser and when its not in use it starts blinking, would that be a standby mode?

I have a Tagus wireless that the laser goes off completely after a few minutes.
