How to disable mouse low-power notifications?

Post by michaelcole »

Similar to [this post](https://wrgms.com/disable-mouse-battery ... ification/), how can I disable mouse low-power notifications?

The notifications are incorrect. The mouse is not low on power. Disabling all notifications and the mouse works for months.

Even the `upower --dump` output indicates the power level of the mouse should be ignored:

Code: Select all

```
> $ upower --dump
Device: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/mouse_hidpp_battery_0
  native-path:          hidpp_battery_0
  model:                Marathon Mouse/Performance Plus M705
  serial:               406d-3f-d5-64-51
  power supply:         no

    present:             yes
    rechargeable:        yes
    state:               discharging
    warning-level:       low
    battery-level:       low
    percentage:          10% (should be ignored)
    icon-name:          'battery-caution-symbolic'
```
The `notifications` settings dialog only has "Enable notifications" on/off.

I don't want to manage a patch for upower as suggested in the article, so I turned off notifications entirely.

Is there a better solution besides throwing out perfectly good mouse batteries?

Thank you,

Michael

I have a similar problem - every time I use my bluetooth mouse after a few mins of idling, I get another "connected" notification, which fills the notification queue, making it useless.

There was a post about this years ago, but it didn't get a response: viewtopic.php?t=379480
