If you’re struggling to work out why your USB wireless mouse is registering the scroll wheel and the clicks but not the movement – it appears that movement draws more current. I just spent ten minutes farting about with a cheap Sigma mouse that I have and realised after I gave the thing a quick charge.
You would think that being an avionics technician I would think of these things first…
Interesting. The first sign that my wireless USB mouse’s battery is dying is that some of the clicks stop working. Movement becomes jerky a bit later.
This one is optical – I don’t know if yours is, it certainly seems to draw more current. Bizzare.
