Then you admit you have no idea what you're talking about? You speak from
emotion rather than fact.

I have a Logitech wireless mouse that does not have an on-off switch.
I bought a small velvet bag to carry this mouse (and batteries) in after I pull the batteries out
when traveling with it.

I have a Microsoft wireless mouse that also has no on/off switch so I pull
the batteries from it whenever I travel :-)

Instead of pulling the batteries just move one of them enough to put a piece
of paper or plastic between it and the contact. Leave enough out to get a
hold on it for removal. If you get lucky it might be possible to pull the
insulator without removing the battery door. Mouse makes a good battery
carrier that way too. YMMV
