Hi techies-

I´ve got a cool wireless mouse that I´d like to use here in Spain, but I dont´think I can. It says 50/60 Hz but for the Voltage it only says 100/120. The Voltage has to also say 240, verdad? So I can´t use it here, I´m assuming...

Thanks for the help,

Rebecca

binkx, hmmmmmmm... the mice i know (worldwide and cheese-eaters die laughing) do not require an outlet to be plugged into so i cannot see why yours would even show a voltage on it nutz

wireless mice feed off of the pc they are plugged into and do not get plugged into the wall.

i have never heard of a wireless mouse being plugged into the wall but if yours says 100/120 volts, by no means should you plug it into the wall.

and if it is to be plugged into the pc and not the wall, perhaps since by plugging it into your computer it uses the same juice which is 220v here so you would fry it.

when in doubt, best not to plug it in.

can you link to a product page for the mouse online? if so, it would help us to help you better.

saludos,
jer...

OK, I THINK it´s this one but not sure Mouse

It´s a Logitech mouse and the plug in part is to charge the mouse, I assume?! eeker

if it is a rechargable mouse than yes, it would have a wall plug to plug in the charging base where the mouse sits to recharge and yes you would fry the hell out of it by plugging it into the spanish outlet.

by the looks of that page however, it is NOT rechargable since it says "AA Battery" and does not specify rechargable batteries.

bottom line is if has a wall plug and says 100-120 volts, don't plug it in here without a transformer (voltage adapter).

p.d. 80 bucks is an INSANE amt. of money to pay for a mouse eeker even worse than a manicure nah nah wink

binkx, that link is dead, says...

... but if it has a charging base as i assume it does or it would not have a voltage rating on it at all, you are smart to not plug it in here without a voltage adapter.

wow! an $80 mouse for free with sales and rebates, i am making you my personal shopper from here on in cool
