I have seen multiple reviewers mention charging it - how do you you charge it?

Just plug it into a usb port and when charged a green light will appear. There is another one, that is identical that uses a AA battery. Both work great. With Lasers too.

The earlier models came with a wire that plugged into the nose of the unit to a USB port. The new ones are a rip off and use a AAA battery that they claim can also accept a rechargeable AAA battery - but I've tried 4 of the newer units and none would move the cursor. I sent them all back and i've given up on trying to get one of the original 'rechargeable' units.

No charging. Uses batteries. Goes to sleep to save batteries if you don't keep using it. While I could improve in it by making it bigger and maybe with a rubber coating, I still find this the best solution to net surfing with no carpel tunnel. This is a good purchase, imho.

Yes, that is the normal way to charge it up. You can also charge it from a computer using the USB cable, but it takes quite a bit longer.

You charge it by plugging into your computer. There is no battery to change. Mine lasts a LONG time before needing to charge and it doesn't seem to take very long to get fully charged. So if yours doesn't work after charging a few hours then it is defective.

The way it comes out of the box you halve to charge with the USB. You can buy a charging adapter from Amazon. I had a suitable charger that has the same wattage, so I didn't buy one. Either way of charging works great.

The cord that comes with it can be used to charge it as well. You will need to buy a wall adapter of course, or use the computer.

No, you charge it using a micro-usb either from computer or a micro-USB charger (such as you might have with your phone)

There's a female micro USB port on the top. You just plug any Micro USB charger cable into that and it will start charging. 4 blue LEDs indicate the charging status and all 4 will be lit when it is fully charged.

I've had a few hiccups with charging it. But Hold the Orange button down till you see the Solar light or the one next to it blink then let it sit in the sun for as long as possible. You can tell it's charged by the percentage lights when you press the orange button. You can also use a input cable and plug it into the wall.

Hi DeniseO, To charge it, you can use your computer (takes a while) or a cellphone charger with micro usb (quicker).

You plug it in. But mine stopped charging after only 6days... and others stopped charging too.. so I don't recommend buying this..

The unit comes with a cord that you plug in to charge it. There are instructions that tell you how to do so. There is also an indicator light on the unit to let you know when it is fully charged.

Hi David, are you sure that you. Charged it correctly? By that I mean, have you charged it from a wall outlet? If you're charging it from a computer some computers require you to plug in the sound/speaker cable too. For example, when I plug it in to my laptop to charge I just need the USB cable and that it, it will charge. BUT if I am charging it from my Desktop I need to ALSO plug in the headphone/speaker cable. So you might think it is charging when it is not. If you're going to. Charge it from a desktop make sure you plug in the USB cable to the computer AND the speaker/headphone cable too. Also make sure the blue light is blinking. That will tell you that it is charging. I hope that helps!

You just connect it to your computer via the cord that is included. Charge it up just as you would a phone or MP3 player.

You plug the USB into your computer to charge it. I've also plugged it into an apple ipad charger, which seemed to work fine.

You can plug the the cord provided into a USB plug and then charge from there. I am also able to plug it into my laptop to charge it :)
