Well, now that you mention it, yes, my mouse stopped working because the battery dropped below its usable threshold; so what you suggest is undoubtedly what happened. I have added Solaar to my Autostart manager list in the Control Center (it wasn't persisting across Login|out) so that I can watch the mouse battery, so theoretically I will be able to take preemptive action the next time. > > (I ask because I've had those occur...)
