I got a magic mouse about 3 hours ago and I have a couple questions.

  1. Does the Mouse go to sleep automatticly when not in use?
  2. How long does the battery usually last?
  3. Should I turn the mouse off at night?

Thanks in advance.

1 While stationary it goes into a low power use mode
2 Depends on how much it is used and how long powered on.
3 Mine is only turned off to change batteries - at night i just sit it on its cradle. But as i use 2 sets of rechargeables it is not a big issue - when the low battery warning comes up i put the 2nd set on charge and swap when they are fully charged.

i usually turn my mouse off when i go away for over an hour or more but i leave my keyboard on all the time because I had to change the batteries in my mouse once and that was with shutting it off, and the keyboard was still at 100%. My mouse lasted for about three months

I had to turn mine off "permanently" as it gave me nasty wrist problems.
Probably due to it being so "thin"
Back with my Logitech MX5000 Lazer and it's all good.
Anyone want to buy a "magic mouse" ??
