I used nano to successfully edit the 95-upower-csr.rules in elementary
OS Freya, as indicated by asmoore82.

I want to chime in and reiterate that mouse power management should take
priority over OS power management. Battery usage tracking and management
for laptops/netbooks should the primary, and dare I say only focus of
the battery indicator.

I believe that this is the feeling of the majority. I don't mean to
dismiss the feelings or opinions of those who like to manage their mouse
battery power. However, if the indicator can not be easily fixed to
prioritize laptop battery over mouse battery, then I think mouse support
should be removed until it can be fixed.

Modern mouse power management is such that mice last for thousands of
hours (many months) of constant use on a single set of batteries--in
fact it is a selling point on the packaging of most mice. I also believe
the lengths I had to go to to find this info is very anti-consumer, and
it discourages wider adoption of Linux as an accessible, usable, OS.
