Information handling system mouse power management

A method for managing power consumption at an information handling system mouse, the method comprising:

• associating mouse inputs with a plural type of mouse usage;
• associating each of the plural types of mouse usage with one of plural power consumption modes;
• detecting one of the plural types of mouse usage;
• and
• in response to the detecting the one of the plural types of usage, operating the mouse with the power consumption mode associated with the detected type of usage;
• wherein associating mouse inputs with a plural type of mouse usage further comprises:
• monitoring mouse accelerations to detect a high power consumption mode at greater than a predetermined acceleration and a low power consumption mode at less than the predetermined acceleration;
• setting a first position sensor sensitivity when the high power consumption mode is detected;
• and
• setting a second position sensor sensitivity when the low power consumption mode is detected.

A mouse comprising:

• a housing;
• a processing resource disposed in the housing and operable to execute instructions to process information;
• a position sensor interfaced with the processing resource, the position sensor detecting movement of the housing with a first and second sensitivity;
• a push button interfaced with the processing resource and operable to detect a button press with a first and second polling rate;
• and
• a non-transitory memory storing instructions that when executed on the processing resource cause the position sensor to have the first or second sensitivity and the push button to have the first or second polling rate based upon one or more predetermined conditions.
