Will this still provide power to my mouse while the computer is in sleep mode? I use my mouse to wake the computer from sleep mode. Thank you.

It should still provide power to the mouse while in sleep mode. As long as your computer itself is turned off, it is powering the USB ports, even though your monitor may be dark. The computer itself is still "on."

It works the same as if the mouse was plugged in the computer. Nothing changes other than you are making one USB into 2.

It is a mouse by itself, so it works with a wireless mouse or any other. It does a slight jiggle every 90 seconds. It is so small I never even notice it, but it is enough to keep your machine from going to sleep. It is automatic, you just plug it in, it does it's thing. no configuration needed.

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.

I don't think so. I never put my cpu in sleep mode, but I think it would only shut off peripherals if the cpu was shut off as well.

How are you waking up your computer? Via the mouse or some other method?Do realize that this mouse goes to sleep to preserve it's battery. So to get the mouse to wake up I hit the right mouse button once.Then to get the computer to come out of sleep, I hit the right mouse button again which will cause the computer to come out of sleep.The mouse should automatically reconnect using the above unless you physically turned the switch on the bottomw of the mouse to off.If you don't use the mouse to wake up the computer, then just hitting the right mouse button once after the computer is up should cause the wakeup of the mouse and auto-re-connection, but it's less reliable.

It is designed to work with Media Center. And it can act as a pointer (mouse) so it can be used to turn off the computer (as you would with a mouse) but it cannot turn on a off computer. In my case, it can awake a sleep computer, but not a hibernating computer.

No. The adapter is great for extra USB memory. And because you have the adapter plugged in, you can plug in the adapter your wireless mouse. Hope this helps.

So the on/off is the scroll button toggle red for on. Transparent for off. If you unplug the USB from your PC/laptop the mouse turns off automatically until plugged in again.

If you close your laptop on sleep yes it does use some power but nothing too noticeable, so if you put it on sleep and had a full charge, even charged half way, and it was dead the next day then there's something wrong. Also your laptop doesn't use power if not in sleep mode. My battery has been working fine since I got it. Unless you had this problem before the new battery I agree with the first answer in saying that you got a bad battery. You should return it and hopefully get a good one this time. Hoped this helped.

The mouse and the keyboard operate independently of each other. So, if the mouse works with your computer, it should still work when you plug in the keyboard.

My mouse does not have an "on" switch. After you put the battery in and put the usb adapter into the laptopclick the LEFT top button on mouse and wait about three seconds - it should then work fine. If I leave mycomputer for any length of time it will silence itself and you must click the left top mouse button again toget 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 flipit over and you will see it lit up if working...

I was surprised when this first happened to me. I don't know why it takes a nap after being idle for a while. What I do when the mouse takes a snooze is click one of the two side buttons, the ones next to your right thumb, and the mouse awakens. I hope this will work for you. :-)

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

I'd think this is related to whether your computer port goes to sleep when the computer does.

I don't see how that would happen as it is powered by your laptop - no external power. It is a great product and perfect for using your laptop at night. Hope this helps.

I am not sure if you know it came without a battery so you will need a battery for it. As soon as I inserted the battery and connected the usb connector (which is attached to the mouse) to my pc, it took about 5min to complete synchronization and begun working. For mine, I noticed the blue light after i inserted the battery as a confirmation of power. Good luck

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.
