IntelliMouse Optical light!!!

Mauros Web · October 1st, 2003, 02:52

Ok, there´s no serious prob here, it´s just that when i turn off my computer the red light of the mouse keeps on, so is there any way to configure winxp to shutdown this device?

Quark · October 1st, 2003, 03:26

?! That's wierd considering that a USB device gets its power from the computer ... are you sure it's shutting down 100%?

grahf · October 1st, 2003, 03:29

You're probably in hibernation/standby mode. Make sure to completely turn off.

this is not a problem. i repeat NOT A PROBLEM. if it's wireless, obviously its being powered by batteries. thus, if you leave the batteries in, it will still be on.

this is not a problem. a friend of mine had a wireless intellimouse which he kept in his backpack all the time (when he transported stuff). on recharable batteries his mouse lasted about a month.

just get rechargeable batteries so you dont have to worry.

that is really weird, does it have batteries in it?

because, obviously, if its USB with no batteries its powered by the computer...and if the computer is off USB cant work....

The only thing I can think of is wake on usb. I'm not sure if that even exists, but if it does I would think it would be like wake on lan which keeps your network connection alive even when you shutdown.

hmm, well, i have cable internet which is always on, still sounds weird though huh

yes my pc was off, atleast to the extent of being shut down that is, it wasnt completely unplugged though, maybe i have a freak renegade optical mouse which is being possessed by evil spirits.. hmm, that would be so cool, i could sell it on ebay

I have connected IntelliMouse Optical through PS/2 with an USB -> PS/2 adapter. This doesn´t happened to me when I had Windows 98 SE installed. Should I connect mouse to USB or it´s better PS/2?

bahamut_2006 · October 2nd, 2003, 00:43

neither port has an advantage over the other. my mouse light also doesnt turn off when it shuts down, nor does the blue light on my usb gamepad. the only way the mouse light will go off is when power to the computer is cut

**hushypushy** · October 2nd, 2003, 01:14

i would say the advantage is with PS/2, because it saves you room for an extra USB port.....

but if you have more than enough USB ports...it doesnt matter at all

well i dont think there's a problem with your mouse being on all the time. it's not like it sucks up enough power to significantly change your electricity bill or kill your PSU
