Ok, thanks for the hint. Since I wasn't sure if this behavior is
regarded as bug I
wanted to ask here first. But I will try to test with current versions
of the kernel
in the future before asking questions here.

Personally I dislike the regular flashing of the LEDs since it draws attention
to something I don't care about. What I care about is when to charge the battery
and the mouse makes sure I will notice that with a constant and pulsing red LED.
On top of that the mouse also flashed the LEDs once when the charging level
dropped from "3 to 2" and "2 to 1".

Do you maybe have an idea where in the sourcecode this interval is located?
I might be able to patch it for myself to disable this behavior. It
would also be
interesting to know if the driver has the ability to disable this
behavior already
so I could write a userspace program to instruct the driver to disable it?

Thanks for your time and efforts again!

Best regards,
Johannes
