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.

My mouse does not have an "on" switch. After you put the battery in and put the usb adapter into the laptop click the LEFT top button on mouse and wait about three seconds - it should then work fine. If I leave my computer for any length of time it will silence itself and you must click the left top mouse button again to get it going. Great feature as it helps extend the battery life. Good luck! ** ALSO ** if working properly there will be a small red light illuminated on the underside of mouse - just flip it over and you will see it lit up if working...

I had the same question (terrible instructions with the mouse). The top front slides off (look for the thumb grip marks) and the compartments for two AAA batteries are revealed. I haven't gotten very good battery life out of this mouse, and you have to move it to wake it (though the sleep doesn't seem to help the batteries live longer).

I have mine for about 8 months and I never turn it off unless it goes a little querky and doesn't work right. The battery is still working fine. It goes to "sleep" when not in use so that saves the battery. But it use 2 aa batteries so they don't cost much. It is a great little mouse. I use it on my nook tablet.

Is there an option to completely turn off or reduce the timing for the glowing buttons? Does that make a difference in battery life?

How old is your mouse? I had the same problem with my HP Comfort mouse. HP Wireless Comfort Mobile Mouse (Moonlight)After 2 1/2 years the mouse died. To be more precise, it is very erratic. The pages that I'm on go all over the place, up and down and back up at any time. Time to start using the spare one I purchased...

No commands. When plugged in usb port it works. When disconnected it stops. The mouse I use is wireless ... But it doesn't matter if wired or just using the laptops own trackpad ... so yes, it does keep laptop awake either way

I generally do not turn the mouse off when it is not in use, so that wastes battery a little, but I'v had it for eight months and I have only replaced the batteries once. I use it maybe 15 hours a week for gaming and I also use it instead of my laptop's trackpad for daily use.

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.

No issues at this time, however, I have disabled the keyboard lighting. The mouse does not last that long though, perhaps 5-6 days before it requires a charge. The keyboard battery is long lasting. I like this combo, just wish the mouse lasted a tad bit longer. Hope this helpes

Sorry, my mouse is not wireless so I can't answer that. I don't like to click and have nothing happen or have the battery die at inopportune times.

I just leave it in the unit and turn the mouse off on the back, there is an on/off button that saves on the battery.

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.

Does the mouse sleep/idle when not in use if the power switch is not turned off?

I just tried it. I put my computer in sleep mode and all the devices that are plugged into the controlled slot turned off. So if your peripherals are plugged into the the controlled slots they will turn off.

The light does stay on to let u know. But it didn't work for me. I still have mine plugged in and I still have a mouse problem. They just wait until night time now to come out and ruin stuff.

I had the same problem. It seems to work for me if I turn the power off in-between each use--meaning when I'm done working I turn it off and then turn it back on when I'm ready to use again. I've found that I need to do this if I have not used the keyboard for longer than an hour. Additionally, I always need to do this if I move my laptop to another room and then bring it back to my desk. This is an unfortunate problem because I really like the keyboard, except for this problem. BTW, I purchased the Bluetooth Sculpt Mouse at the same time, and I've never been able to get it to connect properly for longer than a few minutes.
