    Hi guys, I have a problem with my Alienware 14. When I move my USB mouse around my computer makes a high pitch sound. However, when I change the power plan to balance it goes away. When I put it back to high performance the sound comes back. Can someone please help?

    Never saw that before :S
    Does it happen with a different computer or port?

    Happens on all ports, I also tried with different mouse. Oh well. I can live with it I guess.

    It's probably noise coming from the laser working because my Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX does this too but strangely my G700s does not. @_@ A lot of people had this problem with the Logitech Performance MX mouse and did some re-adjusting to the foam inside the mouse around the laser.
