With a wired mouse, that power can come directly from the computer. But with a wireless mouse, it's going to need to pack its own juice. It does this in the form of batteries. Most wireless mouses use two AA batteries, which can add quite a bit of heft to a mouse.
Connect your mouse
To turn on your mouse, press the Bluetooth button on the bottom of your mouse. Press the button again to turn it off.
Remove the battery compartment cover (located on the bottom side of the mouse), then remove the old batteries. Insert two AA batteries, making sure the positive and negative ends are pointing in the right direction.

Wireless keyboards usually contain small radio transmitters. Like any radio transmitter, they need power to operate. Typically the power comes from batteries; if the batteries go dead, you won't be able to use the keyboard. With this in mind, keep extra batteries on hand or keep a traditional keyboard as a backup.
Clean the laser lens and make sure the area you mouse on is dust free. Also, a dark surface like black or dark blue will cause the battery to drain faster than a light colored surface, so if possible try switching out your mousepad or whatever you use the mouse on.
