Abstract
A wireless mouse having a receptacle for the storage of the wireless receiver is provided. The wireless mouse has a power saving device configured such that it would be triggered to switch the wireless mouse into a power saving mode when the wireless receiver is stored in the receptacle. In the power saving mode, only a small amount of electricity is drawn to maintain the memory of the earlier configured and established identification code and the communication link. When the wireless receiver is removed from the receptacle, the power saving device is triggered to switch the wireless mouse back to a normal operation mode and the memorized identification code and communication link are used automatically to communication with the wireless receiver directly and immediately.
