From: Richard in AZ on 25 Mar 2010 18:14 I have a Logitech wireless mouse that does not have an on-off switch. I bought a small velvet bag to carry this mouse (and batteries) in after I pull the batteries out when traveling with it.

Leave enough out to get a hold on it for removal. If you get lucky it might be possible to pull the insulator without removing the battery door. Mouse makes a good battery carrier that way too. YMMV |
