This may sound like a dumb question, but I'm interested in whether I'm taking unnecessary precautions for my battery life.

Everytime I'm done at my computer, I shut off my Might Mouse. I turn it over and push the cover over the lens.

Is this necessary? Like, I feel in a way that that is for shutting the mouse down for situations such as travel so that you don't run down your battery.

Is it necessary if I'm just leaving it idle at my computer to always slide the lens closed? Or will just leaving it leave it off?

That said, I know some people who unplug their toasters when not in use, even though they use no power...

Hah! Thanks. I shall leave my Mighty Mouse running when not in use in that case.
