Common Problems with Computer Mice and How to Fix Them

Computer mice can have many problems over time, and while trackpads are standard on laptops, your mouse can have some problems or others. Here are some common problems with computer mice and possible solutions to fix them:

Cursor not moving, erratic movement or buttons not responding

Make sure the mouse buttons are really stuck, and press and release them carefully to see if they work properly.

Clean the mouse buttons with compressed air or a soft cloth. Accumulated debris can affect the responsiveness of the buttons.

Replacing mouse batteries If you are using a wireless mouse, a low battery may cause unresponsiveness.

The mouse pointer moves too fast or too slowly

Adjust the mouse sensitivity settings in the operating system. Go to Control Panel (Windows) or System Preferences (Mac) and adjust your mouse speed settings.

If you are using a gaming mouse, check for any custom software or drivers that control mouse sensitivity and adjust the settings accordingly.

Scroll wheel not working

Clean the scroll wheel with compressed air or a soft cloth to remove any dirt or debris that could cause a blockage.

Update or reinstall the mouse driver to ensure OS compatibility.

If problems persist, it is recommended to have it checked at an authorized repair center.
