Most optical mouses (not mice) have a power saver setting built in. It may take looking into the mouse's settings on the control panel. If there is no power saving setting or its not automatic, you may have to pull the batteries at night. They CANT run down if they aren't in the mouse.

Turning off the wireless mouse itself in the computer via device manager will not save batteries. The only thing available is to remove the batteries.

The battery is not drained while the mouse is inactive.
If yours is somehow an exception to the rule just remove the batteries or better yet use rechargeables....
....the only reason most manufacturers don't recommend using them (in the manual) is because of their agreements with Duracell & Eveready (believe it or not). If you can use them in a $600 digital camera then why not in a $20 mouse ?

If it's a Mac mouse, there's a sliding cap on the bottom that you close to save the battery life. If it's not a Mac mouse, buy a Mac computer. They come with a mouse.

sure, they do. on the spot keyboards try this too, in the event that they did not try this you will possibly might desire to purchase 10 batteries usual, and that would desire to be stupid for the producer to try this so as that they software it to sleep after a definite state of no activity time, and additionally you will possibly be able to alter the time, yet you will possibly be able to desire to verify the handbook to make certain how.

It does it on its own, after it hasn't been used in a while it shuts off. It pops back on the minute it senses motion.
