Widget Watch: MightyMonitor

When the dashboard is visible it will poll the battery status once every 10 minutes. When the dashboard is hidden, it will not poll the battery status at all. I'm not sure how it could drain the batteries. It has been running on my system for a few weeks and my batteries are doing fine (keyboard and mouse).

I'm pretty sure this drained the batteries in my Mighty Mouse in about four days.

"The keyboard guage is blank right now since I am not using a wireless keyboard, but it still leaves a space for it which says "Wireless Keyboard" under it."

MightyMonitor 1.1 allows you to just select the keyboard or the mouse.

"Mine is displaying info for the keyboard (although it's reporting the battery to be a little over half-full while the preference pane shows the full five bars), but nothing for my mouse (which should be a little over half-full). Is anybody else getting inaccurate readings?"

The older (non-mighty) bluetooth mouse from Apple registers in the same place as the keyboard. I built this to support the mighty mouse, but am working on a way to support the older mouse. Right now I don't have a clean way to differentiate it from the keyboard, so it appears your mouse is reading as if it is the keyboard...

looks like a handy little widget, but unfortunately i got frustrated with my mighty mouse's inability to right-click properly and threw it off the balcony several months ago.

Nice widget works like a charm, great time saver as it takes ages for the preference pane to come up on my mini.

The mighty mouse is mighty lame IMO and my keyboard never strays far enough or moves around enough to make it wireless.

Nearly related.

Ohh, very nice. It would be especially nice if it didn't always display both even when you are only using one. The keyboard guage is blank right now since I am not using a wireless keyboard, but it still leaves a space for it which says "Wireless Keyboard" under it.
