I use the wireless trackball Logitech mouse, (M570), not sure how much it would help me. I believe when I turn on the mouse the light flashes green because I have good battery. But hey I would love to see development of Logitech devices under Linux as they are very trusted for me personally.

Originally posted by AlbertP View PostSome older Logitech wireless devices (from before the Unifying receivers were introduced) are already able to monitor the battery power level through gnome-power-manager. It's good to have support for at least one Unifying device as well - perhaps it won't be too hard to add compatibility with other modern Logitech keyboards/mice as well.

Brilliant. Now go try to convince the designers of all the wireless mice and keyboards that don't have such LEDs.
I have two wireless mice and a wireless keyboard, none of which have such LEDs. In the past I have had at least 6 other wireless mice and 3 other wireless keyboards, and not one had an array of LEDs. Looking at logitech's page right now, they have 18 wireless mice, only two of which appear to have an array of LEDs, and those two are both $99.
Right, because there are no other features of logitech mice and keyboards that are available on windows but not Linux that could benefit from such an approach.
