M310 wireless mouse. Is the sleep mode the same as turning it off (battery life wise)? Should I turn it off @ night or is the sleep mode ok?

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 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.

The sleep mode is very similar to being off. Not the same, but very much like it

I also don't know anything about a sleep mode on mine, I usually (if I remember) turn mine off when I leave work and over the weekend.

You can turn it off but only on the keyboard but it's hard to see the letters when it's off. And the mouse has led but it doesn't turnoff ever and I'll have to check the warranty on it when I get home

I recently had to replace the set of two AA batteries that came with the mouse. The light on top of the mouse was indicating 'low battery' and the mouse became unresponsive. This was after about 3 months of very heavy use (4+ hours per day). I believe this compares to the battery life of other wireless mice (not bluetooth) I have used in the past. I now have Duracell Alkaline batteries in the mouse, so they might last even longer.

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 have to turn it off on the switch at the end of the day. It has an inactive mode like all optical mice, but not a sleep mode.

The mouse takes a pair of AAs, which I prefer because I'm already fairly invested in rechargeable AAs and it mean zero down-time. I haven't had the mouse long enough to judge battery life, but I can tell you what I know: I have had the mouse for about a month and have used it sparingly during that time. I picked it up used on eBay and it came with alkaline AAs inside, which seem to be going strong.

sorry to hear that you have had a problem with your wireless mouse. i have had no problem at all so far. the only thing i had to do, and i have had mine for quite some time now, is to replace the batteries.

I use rechargeable batteries and I typically leave the mouse switched on all of the time and let it sleep on its own when inactive. I have a number of devices with rechargeable AAAs so I always have some AAAs ready and fully charged. I have one Toshiba mouse on each of two computers that I use a lot. I would say that the rechargeable batteries go a couple of months per charge. I will keep closer track on my next battery changes to give you a more precise estimate. Jim

Battery life is fine, I've only had to actually replace them one time since my purchase. Checked the mouse with new batteries to make sure the issues weren't battery related, but they persisted so I stuck the old batteries back inside every time. So one battery change after ~4.5 months of fairly heavy daily use.

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.

Sure, there is an on/off switch in this mouse. In addition, its power is automatically off when it does not move.

Unfortunately no. The only way to turn it off is to either unplug it or turn your computer off. That is the only flaw I see in this mouse.

You always have a connection to the internet unless you turn the computer off or go to hibernation, sleep mode is still connected and will still do updates and such. I am connected within 1 minute after entering my password. I guess I never paid that much attention to that though, and I'll just say that I cant tell that its a wireless connection. It connects just as fast as my gaming rig with a direct connection.never had a problem, and its been a year.

Is there an option to completely turn off or reduce the timing for the glowing buttons? Does that make a difference in battery life?

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

You can turn off the keyboard backlight any time. The mouse is lit but you can't turn the mouse off. I think the warranty is a year by not for sure. I love mine

I've been using this mouse for a while and have never once had to take the reciever out. My computer goes into multiple levels of sleep mode and I still don't have any issues.
