M310 wireless mouse. Is the sleep mode the same as turning it off (battery life wise)? Should I turn it off @ night or is the sleep mode ok?

Sleep mode? My M310 mouse has only an on/off switch. I think sleep mode has to do with your computer and doesn't effect the mouse battery. I turn my mouse off at night.

I don't turn my mouse off ever; I don't even recall if it has an on/off. I would read the manual if you are worried about this.

The sleep mode is very similar to being off. Not the same, but very much like it

I also don't know anything about a sleep mode on mine, I usually (if I remember) turn mine off when I leave work and over the weekend.

The E17 does have a sleep timer on it. You might want to check and see what it is set at. It's accessable through the menu and is labeled 'sleep' I ended up just turning it off.

I have been using that mouse for a while and I'm actually using now. Had the same issues when I first got it too because I didn't understand it that much. 1. Check battery power levels, your batteries might be about to die. 2. No cheap batteries: I use rechargeable Sanyo Eneloop AAA's with a Lacrosse battery charger so I never have to buy batteries. I know the light is supposed to tell you to change but it sometimes doesn't for me but that's ok for me. 3. Always turn off the off switch under the mouse before shutting down your desktop or if you use a laptop like me, always turn off the switch before closing the laptop. 4. If those don't work, go to your PC settings to disconnect the mouse's sync to your machine completely then re-sync it again. 5. LAST RESORT: If those don't work, you need your money back. lol

Nope! Inserting the USB receiver into the mouse MAY turn the mouse off (can't tell), but the keyboard is always on, but battery usage is nil during idle anyway. This pair is very slick, BTW, and have instant response. Keys are low contrast with small font, so you can MASSIVELY improve that by getting these stick-on letters: "ENGLISH US LARGE LETTERS KEYBOARD STICKERS NON TRANSPARENT BLACK BACKGROUND" ... only $1.80 but tricky to apply ... terrific keyboard after that!

It doesn't turn off automatically. You have to push the on/off button on the bottom of the mouse. Also, my only complaint about this mouse is how easy it is to accidentally turn it on by just carrying it in your computer bag. So I often remove the battery completely and then put it in when I use it.

You have to turn it off on the switch at the end of the day. It has an inactive mode like all optical mice, but not a sleep mode.

You cannot turn it off.I have used this mouse for 2 years. Love it. It has been dropped a couple of times, snapped the pieces back in that popped out and still works great.I love it.

1)No it doesn't but I have accidentally left it on overnight for some days and the batteries seem fine. The driver software actually indicates the battery level and has an indicator when the batteries are low. 2)It is optical. 3)The link for the M510 mouse FAQ is http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/wireless-mouse-m510?osid=23&bit;=64 ,there you can click on the software you need, it is useful since I so some gaming.

There is a small button on the bottom of the mouse. If you hold the mouse like you would to be able to click, and you turn it to face you it will be the button on the left. It has a power icon and a Bluetooth icon. Press it once and it should power off. You can tell it is off because the blue led on the optic turns off.

The Mouse goes to sleep after a couple of minutes of being idle. Touch any button and it up and running instantaneously. I have been using mine for a couple of months and have not yet had to replace the battery.

the one I had, didn't have a power button it was more a power save auto shut off if not used but it still ate up the battery power overnight...if you have this..take out the batteries when not in use...I got a new one from radio shack for $30.spend the $30 and get a mouse with an on/off button and batteries last up to five months..amazon does offer the same product for around $30 or so.

Sure, there is an on/off switch in this mouse. In addition, its power is automatically off when it does not move.

There is an on/off switch underneath the mouse next to the 'light'; a bit hard to manipulate though; need strong fingernails; just as well to let it go to sleep mode unless you're transporting it somewhere - then either turn off or remove battery for trip. Hope this helps.

It's probably going into "sleep mode". Does it come on when you move your mouse around?

Battery AA. Life of battery is extremely long. I think I have replaced it once since I purchased mouse. The battery is replaceable. Just a note it really is a great wireless mouse works perfectly. It is small but works wonderful.

There's actually nothing to turn off. Your mouse will merely take over for the Touchpad. I have a cordless mouse that works absolutely perfectly with this laptop. Enjoy! It's a great machine!!!!

I have two of these. Have had them both for years. I have never changed the batteries. I always turn it off on the bottom when I sleep or turn off the laptop. Side note - if you sleep the laptop, THEN turn it off, it will turn the laptop back on. Gets into a weird kind of cycle. So I've gotten used to turning it off, then sleeping the laptop using keyboard shortcuts instead.
