No, corded mice use the computers electricity thus do not need batteries.
A wireless mouse will need additional batteries to operate, unlike a corded mouse. Depending on the method used to connect to the computer, a wireless mouse may suffer from interference.
Usually an optical mouse will be happy using the plain, generic mouse driver your operating system provides. There's nothing actually different about how the mouse talks to your computer just because it's optical. The optical data is for the mouse to process, not your computer, jusy as it was when there were trackballs in the devices.
they need batteries and you cannot get out of range, or it does not work.
The time a wireless mouse can perform and work properly before the batteries need to be changed varies between usag, brand of mouse and quality of batteries. The time can vary from just a couple months to years.
A modern wireless mouse will need a pair of AA batteries in order to operate. You should buy computer mouse batteries in bulk to make sure that the mouse always works. If the batteries die, you will have to use the touchpad on your keyboard. Some keyboards do not have touch pads, so you will not be able to use them at all unless the mouse works. It is good to have many replacement batteries.
>no, and even if you could it would have to be dead and super electric I know this was a humorous answer, but actually you could. Here is how. 1. anesthetize (or kill) the mouse. 2. equip mouse with bluetooth unit taken from wireless mouse 3. equip mouse with optical sensor from wireless mouse 4. don't forget to include the batteries There you have it! If you choose to kill (terminate with extreme prejudice) the mouse, then you could open it up with a scalpel, gut it and put the bluetooth unit, optical unit and batteries inside (leaving the laser light emitter poking out the bottom of course. You probably want to stuff it with something like cotton balls to fill out the mouse and make it more comfortable to your hand. Come to think of it, you either need a pretty big mouse or a rat.
Generally an optical mouse provides much better function than an older ball design mouse. The lack of an internal ball to move the mouse reduces the need for cleaning and build up do to the ball itself wearing down.
You need to replace the batteries.
The mouse pad is useful for both the trackball mouse and the optical mouse. When a trackball mouse is used, the mouse pad is a good surface for the ball to catch and roll on. When an optical mouse is used, the mouse pad provides a good non-reflective surface.
Make sure the batteries are in the right way, and are the right batteries, and are live batteries. Also check your system to see if the mouse is being detected.
The major disadvantage of a ball mouse is that it is not as easy to use as other types of mice like optical and laser. It is also comparatively much less durable.
A mechanical mouse has a ball & rollers on the bottom which moves the pointer. An optical mouse has a light instead, and you don't even need a mouse pad to use it.
