The wireless rechargeable mouse should be an ergonomically designed mouse that uses radio frequency link to enable the user to use the mouse anywhere in a four foot radius from the receiver. There should not be any line-of-sight between the mouse and the wireless rechargeable mouse's receiver. The system requirements for such a mouse would typically be a Pentium processor and USB interface as well as a new version of Windows.

The third button as well as the scrolling wheel would only work with certain operating systems and for an operating system other than those with which it should be used, it would result in fewer enhanced features and functions being available to the user and in effect, it would end up functioning like a standard two-button mouse. Connecting the wireless rechargeable mouse would require a USB port and the computer's operating system is able to identify the receiver and do the rest.

Power Management and Longer Life

The wireless rechargeable mouse may also have its own power switch and in the "on" position, the optical sensor would light up on the bottom of the mouse. One can charge up the batteries when they lose their power and for best results a charging period of a minimum of four hours would be necessary. To charge the wireless rechargeable mouse, you could use the supplied USB charge cable.

Managing the power of the wireless rechargeable mouse is through the off and on buttons on the power switch located at the bottom of the mouse. When powered on, the wireless rechargeable mouse has the capability of going into sleep mode if it is not being used for a minimum of eight minutes.

For maximizing the life of the batteries, one should use the mouse on a white or light colored surface as dark surfaces cause the light emitter diode of the mouse to have more glow than necessary, which causes quicker discharge of the battery.

There are more than two hundred different identification codes that allow the receiver and the associated mouse to operate without any interference from outside radio frequencies. When the computer detects the USB receiver and a communication link has been established between the mouse and its receiver, the wireless rechargeable mouse is ready for operations.

One should not use the wireless rechargeable mouse on metal surfaces which cause shielding of the radio frequency transmission, thus slowing down the response times of the mouse and may even cause temporary failures of the mouse. One should also never use the mouse on a glass or mirrored surface that causes the mouse to fail in its operations, temporarily.
