NO! and it's one of the things I love about it. You just plug into the USB port and you're good to go!!

Yes. It's a USB mouse so works like any USB device. There should be NO drivers/software to install. Plug in the USB receiver (stores in the bottom of the mouse when not in use) and press the Connect button(s). To get full functionality you may want to install the IntelliPoint software from Microsoft. NOTE: There is a button in the slot where the USB receiver is stored. This button MAY GET 'stuck'. If the mouse fails to respond when the USB receiver is plugged into the computer, and the battery is known good, ensure this button is fully released.GL,Td

If it is a direct wired mouse you don't recharge it. It plugs into the back of the computer. If it is a wireless mouse you have to change the batteries.

It doesn't need batteries. It is truly "cat powered". The mouse moves on a little track inside.

No. It has a wireless receiver designed for a PC and it requires Windows mouse and keyboard drivers at the computer. For this purpose, I have used it daily for a couple of years and it has worked flawlessly, with battery charges required at 4-6 week intervals.

It uses a "AA" battery, it is not included, it can be rechargeable but will not recharge in mouse as there is no constant electrical connection.Wife loves it btw........

Inside the mouse battery compartment is a small wireless receiver that needs to be plugged into the computer's USB port. They seem to have left this important info out of the instructions, but once you do that and put in the batteries, it should work fine (the mouse has an on-off switch on the bottom also).

Yes the mouse goes to sleep so you'll need to click the button. On the other hand I tend to hit the receive slightly and find that I need to wiggle it to make sure it's connected properly or the mouse won't work at all.

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.

I have not seen it come with a mouse included, but usb and even wireless mice are inexpensive and readily available...(even on Amazon).

No, it uses a wired mouse, but a wireless mouse is cheap at places like Walmart. I prefer a wired mouse because I don't have to keep turning it on and off. I love this laptop it's fast and always works.

It does not have a battery if that's what your asking. It needs to be constantly powered through USB and needs to be connected to a device that can use its drivers, otherwise it wont work.

No this mouse is not wireless. There is a wireless version but this one uses a USB cord.

no, if you have a laptop with thumb pad. If you are using a desktop, you will need a mouse.

No, I don't think so. It's been a while since I purchased this for my mother. She uses a cordless mouse.

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.
