Silent Mouse

Are you annoyed by frequent "low battery" notifications from your wireless mouse or keyboard on a Linux desktop using Gnome? Do you want to stop this madness?

This script will walk you through the steps to fix it. For more details and background, read this blog post.

Getting started

git clone https://github.com/guiambros/silent-mouse
cd silent-mouse
bash silent-mouse.sh

By default this disables only wireless mouse notifications. If you want to disable wireless keyboard notifications, you can add --keyboard to the script:

git clone https://github.com/guiambros/silent-mouse
cd silent-mouse
bash silent-mouse.sh --keyboard
