Batteries and Mice
-
I have a new Keyboard and Mouse combination It is my third time buying this brand the last one was purchased in 2016 This new configuration requires that I click the mouse when I first boot the Windows 7 Dell Precision T7600 If I watch a YouTube video that is 24 min long without touching the mouse the mouse goes to sleep and requires that I click some button to wake it up With the past products the mouse never went to sleep and if the computer went to sleep the mouse or keyboard would wake the computer up I have made these changes The USB ports under Power Management "Allow Computer to turn off device" is unchecked Advanced Power management the USB Selective Suspend option is "SUSPENDED" My guess is that Kensington Pro Fit Wireless Comfort Set has now opted to wire the mouse and keyboard so that if they are inactive they go to sleep to save the batteries I am at my wits end trying to correct this behavior Any Suggestions I am looking at Logitech MK 710 combo but that Hype Scrolling is a turn off
Did the keyboard/mouse set come with software (or refer to getting it online?) This sounds to me like configuring the devices and not your system.

Some later model mouses (or should I say 'mice'?) have this auto turn-off feature to save the battery in case you forget to turn it off. I suggest you accept it and get used to it. In my case it saved me a ton of batteries! :-D When you start re-using the computer, just hit the scroll wheel to turn on the mouse.

this is a great tip. My DELL T1700 has similar issue: it won't wake up sometimes and I have to unplug the power line.

This won't help you, but your story reinforces me into using a cable mouse and keyboard.

I just got the Logitech MX Anywhere 3 mouse and MX Keys keyboard. It was an early Christmas gift from my wife since my wireless Logitech mouse from (bought in 2003?) died. I much prefer wired mouse and keyboards, but what I really needed in my life was devices that could switch from one computer to another easily. A KVM (without the M) would add a lot more cables to my already buried desk. * I haven't had any issue with sleep/wake states. * I got the Anywhere mouse instead of their more expensive one because I use a left-handed mouse. No one makes ergonomically correct left-handed mice. * It has a software feature for switching between computers, but also a hardware option. Hardware has no issues. Software works, but sometimes it takes a second to switch. * They are non-replaceable rechargeable batteries. A thunderbolt cable is used to charge them. I figure when the battery goes, then I have a wired mouse & keyboard again. I've overall happy with my new toys.

I agree with you Marc but My house has carpet everywhere and I live in Arizona so static electricity is a BIG issue I had a MS keyboard with metal around the perimeter and fried a mother board on a old Dell every now and then I send my thermostat to I quit mode and need to reset it by taking the batteries out

Looks like your new keyboard didn't come with any punctuation keys. Sorry about that. ;)
