Corsair mouse and UPower

[Celejar]

Hello,

I'm trying out a Corsair wireless mouse on some of my Debian Sid
systems. The mouse itself works fine, using a USB dongle wireless
(2.4GHz) receiver, and the mouse shows up in the XFCE Mouse and
Touchpad widget, but I can't figure out any way to get power
information (i.e., battery charge level) from the mouse. My
understanding is that the standard way of doing this on Linux is via
UPower, but Upower doesn't see the mouse device (the only device it
finds [on a desktop system] is "/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/DisplayDevice").

Is the mouse simply not reporting power info via standard protocols, or
am I missing something? The mouse also supports Bluetooth, so I suppose
I could try that instead of 2.4GHz and see if it makes a difference.

In the case of bluetooth headsets, battery level may require
experimental features in bluez

A general recommendation for troubleshooting is to check "journalctl -b"
output (as root).
