hmm, fix released when? I'm using 16.10 and I have the same problem. I use a desktop computer (no battery), I have a normal USB dongle (lsusb says: Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle) with a wireless keyboard. Plus I have a logitech mouse with its own dongle (Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver). Both devices work perfectly. System settings/power management only shows keyboard, not the mouse. But I can't make it display on the menubar. It's set to present. Otherwise I have 2 USB cord mice, 1 PS2 keyboard, 1 pen tablet, 1 USB d-pad controller, 1 USB to phone, 1 USB HP printer on this computer. All works perfectly.

Today I discovered that the battery status for my wireless mouse and keyboard are shown in the Power section of System Settings, which was very pleasing. However, there is no way to show the battery status in the menu bar on this machine. The options available for this in System Settings are: Show battery status in the menu bar when battery is present Show battery status in the menu bar when battery is charging/in use Show battery status in the menu bar never Either the batteries in my wireless keyboard and wireless mouse count as a "battery" for the purposes of this menu, or they don't, and I don't know which is true, but either way there is a bug. If the "Show battery status in the menu bar" dropdown menu applies to only a main computer battery (such as is found in a laptop) then there is no way to show the battery status of my wireless keyboard and mouse if my computer does not *have* a main computer battery (because it is a desktop computer plugged into mains power always). Suggested fix: add a new option, "when device(s) using a battery are connected", which would act as "Show battery status in the menu bar when battery is present" but also show the status in the menu bar if battery-using peripherals are connected. If the "Show battery status in the menu bar" dropdown menu applies to all batteries, including those in peripherals such as mice, then the setting is incorrectly being ignored because I do not have a power indicator.
