The easiest way to power the device would be to use the Picos micro USB port. Be sure to use a USB power only cable or a wall power adapter otherwise it won't pick up the mouse.

**PLEASE NOTE:** Some "power only" USB cables have the data lines shorted together. You can test if this is the case by plugging the cable into the Pico and using a meter to check for continuity between `TP2` and `TP3` on the Pico. If there is continuity you have a cable like this. Cut the data lines on a normal USB cable as an option.
