Abstract

A wireless mouse operatively coupled to an information handling system including a wireless mouse microcontroller and a power management unit (PMU) to provide power to the wireless mouse microcontroller and the PMU operatively coupled to a battery and an ultracapacitor. The wireless mouse further comprising a inertial solenoidal energy harvester device operatively coupled to the PMU and placed within a housing of the wireless mouse to charge the ultracapacitor when the wireless mouse is moved. The wireless mouse microcontroller executing code instructions to determine a standby mode or an active mode based on input from an actuation/engagement sensor with regard to user engagement and, with the wireless mouse PMU, switch between a power source from the battery to the ultracapacitor when the wireless mouse is in a standby mode and to switch back when the wireless mouse is in active use.
