Hello,

I have a Desktop with wireless mouse and wireless keyboard, what I miss is an indicator on how much battery power I have left on those devices.

If your device is supported, have a look at solaar. This is what I am using with my Logitech keyboard and Mouse.

You can also most times see them in the “power” section in Gnome settings.
