Hi,1. Does this mouse have an automatic power shut off after 10' or so beside the On/Off switch?2. is this mouse optical or laser? I am asking this because I don't see any red light (any light in fact) coming out from the circular hole. But is working fine.3. Can you give me the link where I can go to download the Logitech driver for customizing the buttons?ThanksDan Hi,1.

1. Not that I know of, but the batteries last for a year anyway. 2. I believe it is infrared. 3. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/wireless-mouse-m510?osid=14&bit;=64

Thanks, here it is a site that has the last driver as I just find out. It is a genuine website, not like all others sending you around the bushes.Do you know by any chance what's the major difference between an optical mouse and a laser one (beside the price)?As far as I know, it is about the surface they are used, the optical being able to navigate on about everything.ThanksDan

1. Yes it shuts off automatically. 2. The mouse is laser. 3. http://www.logitech.com/product/wireless-mouse-m510

1)No it doesn't but I have accidentally left it on overnight for some days and the batteries seem fine. The driver software actually indicates the battery level and has an indicator when the batteries are low. 2)It is optical. 3)The link for the M510 mouse FAQ is http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/wireless-mouse-m510?osid=23&bit;=64 ,there you can click on the software you need, it is useful since I so some gaming.

1. I don't know how power use is managed, but I've not replaced a battery and I've had it for 4-5 months. 2. It's laser - it is labeled "High Performance Laser" on the ring around the hole. 3. Link to customize buttons - No comment on this item.

Actually the M510 is not infrared but a laser mouse (as I found out). The infrared are the so called optical ones.And as some say, the laser ones are better for accuracy (more DPI), and the optical are better for gamers.Dan

I don't turn my mouse off ever; I don't even recall if it has an on/off. I would read the manual if you are worried about this.

First try unplugging and plugging it back in. If that doesn't work, look at the bottom and see if the laser is on. If it isnt, the laser could be dead. You could try reinstalling the mouse drivers.If all of that fails, i recommend getting a new mouse. Go for the $20-$50 logitech mice. Much better quality and never break.

It doesn't turn off automatically. You have to push the on/off button on the bottom of the mouse. Also, my only complaint about this mouse is how easy it is to accidentally turn it on by just carrying it in your computer bag. So I often remove the battery completely and then put it in when I use it.

This mouse makes use of the standard USB mouse drivers included in Windows and requires no additional driver. It should be recognized as soon as you plug it in. If it isn't, you almost certainly have a defective device. Did the laser light ever come on? If not, you DEFINITELY have a bad mouse...

The keyboard I think isn't the problem as I've had the same batteries in it since I got it and they are fine still. Now the mouse doesn't shut itself off and I've gone through 4-5 batteries in it to the one in the keyboard. If you are having a problem I suggest taking the battery out every time. Yes inconvenient but saves on the battery cost for sure. I'm lazy therefore 4-5 batteries in the mouse. There are no shut down methods that I know for either. but for the price... Try Emailing the company itself they might have a solution.

This is an optical mouse, aka light-emitting diode to detect movement relative to a surface. "Logitech Advanced Optical Tracking: Enjoy point-and-click precision" I bought this for my girlfriend and works fine for what she uses it for. She has small hands and fits perfect. I have an optical mouse for work and for gaming. Works fine. No issues to report. Good luck.

i'm jumping into the conversation here, anybody find a solution for the delay/slow middle mouse button reaction? I need a double-middle click for CAD, this mouse is not cutting it. It is replacing my 4 year old MS Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - excellent btw, just worn out. Was hoping the 3500 was the same mouse, just with BlueTrack.system is brand new, 8g ram etc, drivers new, so performance of the system shouldn't be a factor...

I haven't had any issues with mine. It sounds like you have a short circuit happening in your mouse that's depleting the power.

my sharkk mouse goes to sleep it seems after a while of sitting. I wake mine up by scrolling the wheel. it wakes right up. moving it or clicking buttons will not wake it up.

Hi, I got the same problem as you when I first got that mouse. But I found out what happens to mine. So see if this is the same problem for yours too, if it is not then all got to said is "a return to the seller is rightful enough or you could wait for others answers. :)" Anyways let's get to the point. What happens mine is you need to put the on switch so close to the off switch just to make it to work. It seems that they make a poor job on the on switch. So, If you did this and didn't see the three second red light in the middle of the mouse, then it didn't work, but if it does work then, yes, this is how I make mine work and it still working like new even right now. :) Hi, I got the same problem as you when I first got that mouse.

Troy may be right. Leaving the USB connected 24/7 may kill the battery. My arrow keys quit after 3 months. Next day the delete key reversed directions! Then the illumination keys quit. Logitech doesn't offer replacement batteries and I think mine is shot.

I had the same problem. It seems to work for me if I turn the power off in-between each use--meaning when I'm done working I turn it off and then turn it back on when I'm ready to use again. I've found that I need to do this if I have not used the keyboard for longer than an hour. Additionally, I always need to do this if I move my laptop to another room and then bring it back to my desk. This is an unfortunate problem because I really like the keyboard, except for this problem. BTW, I purchased the Bluetooth Sculpt Mouse at the same time, and I've never been able to get it to connect properly for longer than a few minutes.

Logitech doesn't make a comparable gaming mouse. I have owned a lot of Razer products and have had little issues with any of my products. Sounds like you may had a issue with the connection due to simply put usage. I had one my old original Razer nagas had same issue which was from chair running over cord. Same issue happened for a logitec that I had. If your a extreme gamer like myself you might consider Razer epic. It is a cordless gaming mouse that can also plug in. Razer is only gaming company that has not just a full line up of gaming stuff but also special software to enhance the gaming expierence. Logitech doesn't make a comparable gaming mouse.

I found the solution via Logitech support!This issue sometimes proves to be static energy trapped inside the mouse. Please plug the USB receiver into a different USB port, and use this procedure to drain the mouse of all static energy: 1. Shut off the mouse and remove the batteries.2. Press all the buttons repeatedly for 30 seconds. This will drain all the static energy that may be trapped in the mouse.3. Put the batteries back in the mouse and turn it on4. Wait a few seconds for it to re-connect and test the left click

No issues at this time, however, I have disabled the keyboard lighting. The mouse does not last that long though, perhaps 5-6 days before it requires a charge. The keyboard battery is long lasting. I like this combo, just wish the mouse lasted a tad bit longer. Hope this helpes

Same thing happened here, i tried uninstalling the drivers and that did not work either. This is the second time i bought this mouse and it just died after 2 months. The crazy thing is that it still lights up! like they put more work into the lights compared to the functionality!
