Abstract

A wireless mouse comprises a movement detection module that detects movement of the wireless mouse. A detection module detects at least one of movement and usage of the wireless mouse during operation. The detection module consumes power at a slower rate than the movement detection module. A control module selectively powers down the movement detection module and wherein after the detection module detects the at least one of movement and usage, the control module powers up the movement detection module.
