Hi. I have a SHARKOON Technologies GmbH 2.4GHz Wireless Mouse connected by rectangle-format (old USB) and am wondering what percentage it is at? I had it plugged in through micro-USB to charge (there is no battery port) for a while, the LED lights on the mouse continually cycle (cool effect--like an Apple product, where design means everything) so there is no red light to tell me when it's power is gone; anyway, I'm interested in the charge level, just to see how full it is and the rate at which it charges, because I have three power chargers to choose from. Being USB, can I even find this information?
It would appear that SHARKOON is a German company, or perhaps a Chinese firm operating out of Germany. The English-language of their website is: Sharkoon - Mice. Your best bet is to contact them first, and find out from them what operating systems they support and what capabilities each has. SHARKOON is not a brand I'm familiar with (never heard of them before), so see what you can learn from the company and perhaps someone here will have a better grasp on the technology you're looking for.

You could try upower --dump. Otherwise, someone would probably need to write an out-of-tree driver to do so (similar to openrazer for Razer devices). I searched on github/lab but came up with nothing for Sharkoon.

Hi. It's kind of weird that no one has heard of them—it's a really cool mouse, like I was saying.

Got the mouse from Amazon.
Have you tried @stephematician's suggestion? Here's a sample output by Leo AI:

The battery in the mouse has power, as the mouse and LED lights are working (when the mouse is at critical power, the pointer doesn't move at times); I guess the command doesn't interact with any device on my computer, as it's a desktop and not a laptop.

upower is not just for laptops; it reports on other devices too. In this case it looks as though the Sharkoon device is not supported.
