blinking mouse

Hello,

My new Dell wireless mouse blinks even after turning off my computer. It will continue to do so all night long. Is that normal or do I have a problem with my mouse?

Thanks.

Aurora

    no that's just intelligent design by dell.  it's to make sure that we get fresh air every so often by going outside to purchase new batteries.  please excuse my sarcasm.
     
     
    most people have bought rechargeable batteries.  there's also a logitech mouse with a on-off switch if you wanna buy that.

    You can't turn off mouse!

    You CAN do:

     1. Put mouse on white surface when not in use, to reduce power use and stops blinking all nite.

    2. Use high mA rechargeable batteries (I use 2500 mA rechargeable batteries) and keep a pair of charged ones by mouse.  I am a "power" user and the batts seem to last about a month.
