Yes, but Tommy Tyler wrote:
Connecting everything to a PC does not change the measured battery current...

So, switching it off at the PC end ought not to make a noticeable difference? I suppose you could add an on-off switch to the adapter cable but then - no offence inended - if you're in the habbit of leaving your remotes connected all the time will you remember to use that switch?

Well yes, that's not going to do it. Its not that I intend to leave it plugged in all the time, its just that when I'm looking for bugs in assembly language sometimes it takes so long, that I forget that I have it plugged in.

This new cable supplies so much power, that when I take out one of the batteries, the remote still partially works. I get into the low voltage warning loop, so the led's keep double flashing when I press the keys!

Have you thought of allowing the operating system to shut off either the device or the hub where its connected?
