This USB-mouse [which is too fast and is connected via a PS2 adaptor]
sometimes flashes *BLUE* via the transparent middle button.

It shows 'sleep mode' by dull-red, when not active,
and brighter-red when moved.

What does the *BLUE* indicate ?
I think the box has no beeper, and I suspect that the mouse shows
BLUE when the box 'trys to beep' ?

== TIA.

Although this NewsGroup still functions well,
there are already many other previously good
NewsGroups which have been crowed-out by
the twittering-idiot-masses. To avoid further
displacement of the NNT-protocol by the
dumbed-down inefficient clik-blogs, we need
to take a stand.

Logical from your POV, but there really is no interface or channel
to get that informationm to the mouse, unless you have a special
driver that does this. If so, look itno the driver settings.

If you give the make and model of "this usb mouse" someone might
be able to help you. Looking up that mouse on the manufacturer's
website may also give you some insight.

Sorry TIA, but your name looks like a TROLL.
Check the *User Guide* supplied with your "not named" USB mouse!
A mouse will never be able to indicate some sort of beeps!

This question has nothing to do with pc-hardware!
