For anyone here searching for a complete answer: The answer is NO, with these caveats: - The USB port on the device is used for charging only. Connecting this port to a USB port on your PC will not allow for routing of usb HID mouse functions over a physical cable. - The MX Ergo can indeed be charged via micro-USB while being used for Wireless Bluetooth/Unifying Receiver Mouse duties. These charges last a very long time, even under heavy use. For those of you scolding the OP for asking the question, there are very real reasons for them to do so: - KVM switching. Although this trackball mouse may exhibit limited functionality when used with a KVM switch (Via the Unifying Receiver or a Bluetooth Dongle,) the supporting driver software gets confused. In my case, the pointer speed as set within Logitech Options is often ignored. Although the device has an integrated switch for toggling between two PCs (of which one may be using a unifying receiver OR bluetooth and the other must be connected via bluetooth,) this will obviously not toggle automatically when your keyboard and video screen input are toggled. If you use the mouse with more than two computers you will struggle... either struggling to constantly pair/connect the device to and from your multiple computers, or struggling with the lack of compatibility with KVM switches serving two or more host computers. As for the second question, there is no version of the MX Ergo featuring a physical usb/HID connection. Other manufacturers make wired roller ball mouse products, but none with the MX Ergo's unique ergonomic tilt design. I love my MX Ergo and have replaced one after wearing it out, but I struggle greatly due to owning a dozen computers and often switching between three or four of them within a day.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The charging cable can be left in place (I do so regularly). The mouse works fine in this configuration.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it can be used with the included micro USB cable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It comes with a USB cable for charging, which I'm assuming can also be used for a hard wired connection if you needed to for some reason. I haven't tried it that way though.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In a word, No hard wire. Why would anyone want to have a mouse permanently attached to electricity? That's what hard wired means. This is wireless and it has a rechargeable battery. Supposed to last about 3 months on a charge. USB charging cable/wire comes with it. I charged it to max when I got it and have not needed to recharge yet. Think it has been over a month that I have had it. Excellent mouse. I had the older model that required batteries. Like this better. Also has button to make ball sensitivity adjustment for delicate movements. Very easy and fast.
