Mouse stops working.

Just a note to say I have fixed it (see other post).

I think you do get used to a mouse though, they become virtualy hard
wired into your brain after a while, as I found out when switching back and
forth, my back-up mouse seemed way to fast and sensitive at first, but now
I have switched back this one seems, slow and heavy, it is set at max speed
too!!

Also this one has a harder. longer and louder click, however it does have a
'back' button to go to previos page which I liked, but then again I got used
to
doing left click and back on my other one.

I may still get a wireless 5 button mouse, especialy if I see one going
cheap in a shop!!

Glad to hear you found the problem & fixed it.

 

Yes I was pretty pleased because I had written the thing off but I just
thought I would
give it one more try because I could not believe anything inside the mouse
had magically failed,
especaiilly so when I found it needs no driver so it could not be software
either.

I have gotten used to the dynamics of the mouse again too now, so all is
well!

 

The next time you want to say, see other post, 17 times, try this instead

Reply to your first post and leave the original subject intact, then follow
by a couple of dashes and in allcaps, the word update. Following thi8s
convention, the subject would become

Re: Mouse stops working -- UPDATE


Your resolution then becomes a new thread of the original discussion, and
those that are interested in the updated information can see it easily. You
could replace UPDATE with RESOLVED, or other distinguishing words like that.

 

You should be able to find the Mouse Control Panel and adjust the
programmable behavior of the mouse.

You can wash the mouse's feet if it is sticking to the mouse pad. You're
allowed to wash the pad too because it builds up with oil from potato chips
and french fries, and this slows the mouse considerably.

 

I have already got it set to max speed, I will try washing the pads.
I just use the back of a large hardback book as a pad as a mouse pad,
I have never bothered with a proper one, the good thing about the laser mice
is they work on most flat surface.

It's not a problem really once you get used to it, it seem fine now, the
problem
is when you switch mice and movement which would move the
pointer 1 inch moves it 3 inches, or vice versa. However once your brain
adjusts
to it, it is not a problem, the mouse does just what you want it to do
pretty
much subconsiously.

 

Just an update on the situation, I fixed the mouse, but I was in town today,
and I say a wireless similer to what I was looking for like this one
(same company)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRUST-WIRELES...rComponents_KeyboardsMice?hash=item3cabb28393
I got it for £9 and I am very happy with it, it is basically the same as my
old one but
wireless, it works fine.

Actually it better because it is faster, I have to more the mouse pointer
speed down
from the max it was on to a mid setting, so I have leeway for faster or
slower, as opposed to
before where it was up to the max and still a bit sluggish IMO.
