not too sure about that specific mouse

but my logitech wireless mouse (M525 and M546) both will sleep after certain period of inactivity

shaking them wakes it

 

i know of some other mouse that wakes when you click it, pretty sure it's a common feature, and not just logitech that's doing it

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

I know Corsair has a default of 15m of inactivity, but it can be changed in iCue software to ones needs. I would assume its common trend among the industry to have some sort of built in sleep mechanism to wireless mice to save batteries.

I got a logitech G903 which is a (to 😛 ) high cost gaming mouse (besides the buttons being utter shit and reason to not buy it) it will wake after movement and mouse click which it will then report to PC as soon as possible so when you fire it actually fires.

It does take half an hour to go to sleep tho, cus gaming i think.

 

So yes even gaming mice go to sleep.

 

But as with most devices, turn them off when not using it for a day or so. Plan to not use it for longer take out the battery if thats an option.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
