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...

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

I'd hope most likely you could get a replacement sent or if not maybe find a spare usb piece. if not that's just plain stupid because that piece is smaller than the tip of my finger. if I didn't use the mouse all the time and keep it plugged in my laptop, that usb would probably been long gone. Oh J Berry, this is how you program the mouse for any computer. First, open the door next to laser lens on bottom, insert 2 AA battery, and return and close lid over battery compartment. Okay! Okay, joking aside, insert USB plug into any USB port you have free(note: easiest to reach, seems to work great). Alright, turn mouse over and find switch which has 3 options; off, on with battery save(no lights), and ON( screw energy saver, this mouse is bomb), turn to either Ons. Bam mouse now works with you pc

Sleep mode? My M310 mouse has only an on/off switch. I think sleep mode has to do with your computer and doesn't effect the mouse battery. I turn my mouse off at night.

I can confirm this. There most certainly IS an on/off switch on the bottom of this mouse. It can also operate on only one AA battery (I think it says that in the instructions). However with one battery the mouse will remain powered for about one year instead of two years.

That's one of two drawbacks. No auto shutoff and not NV ready. Although the power button is easy to find and is not a huge issue. Also the it powers on the the last position. As in if you were to have it on auto brightness or manual. Still a great red dot. Hope this helps...

I'd like to help very much but I'm not as computer savvy as you would hope!! However I do know this mouse is a crappy thing, it has a mind of it's own & will work if it wants to & won't!! Try another mouse to see if you get the same problem, the mouse I have also had the lights on but yet nobody was home!! Try another mouse from a friend if you don't have one & the best I can tell you is to buy another mouse that's value is $15. or more 7 it doesn't come from any part of Asia!!! Good luck & sorry you have the same bad luck I did!!!

I bought a red one and a white one and I threw them in the trash today. It's a piece of trash. I'll never buy another one. You're right the light comes on but the mouse does not respond to command. Can't really complain. You get what you pay for.

This is not a question, but what I'll try to help you anyway. If you lift the mouse off of you mode pad or desk or whatever, then it will stop functioning while you have it in the air. Once you set the mouse back down, it immediately begins working again. The laser only works when it is close to something.

I'm not sure about a laser mouse. I use an optical mouse at work. It works very well for that purpose.

I have mine for about 8 months and I never turn it off unless it goes a little querky and doesn't work right. The battery is still working fine. It goes to "sleep" when not in use so that saves the battery. But it use 2 aa batteries so they don't cost much. It is a great little mouse. I use it on my nook tablet.

I purchased mine and after a week of use it stopped working, received a full refund. I honestly want to love this mouse bc the design is unique and unmatched, but after much research I found out the laser is piss poor in longevity. If you purchased it new, you can contact Mad Catz for a replacement within 2 years with proof of purchase

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.

You can turn it off for optimum battery life. I never turn it off but I've only had it about a month now and haven't needed to replace the battery. There is an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse.

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...

It should work right out of the box. There's an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse for the lights but if the mouse is not working at all then you may need to return it, hopefully you can.

No. You have to shut it off. But it's a great mouse! It's small and very comfortable to use.

The lazer light actually shines through the whole mouse pretty effectively. Unfortunately it's really only noticible at night. But the mouse is def worth the price!
