How to set up a wireless mouse

The convenience of a stationary computer or laptop is not only a powerful processor, a large amount of memory or a cool operating system, but even such a control element as a computer mouse. If before they were wired, it was enough to plug the wire into a special socket. Now, basically, the manufacturer offers wireless options that must be configured before work.

Basic Wireless Mouse Settings

Before using a wireless mouse, you need to do a little preparatory work. It comes complete with a radio frequency signal receiver, which must be included in a free port. If you connect the receiver before turning on the mouse, the computer will automatically install all the necessary drivers, and then proceed according to the algorithm:

• Check if the battery is inserted in the device case; for this, turn over and open the lower compartment. Although on some models the batteries are inserted from the back.

IMPORTANT. If you have not used the device for a long time, then it is better to replace the battery.

• It is necessary to turn on the product, for which it is necessary to turn the lever and turn it to the ON side (or by closing the red field with the lever, and when turned on, green opens).
• Press the connect button: if there is one, it is located on top and, as a rule, between two keys, or on the side.

ATTENTION. There are models on which this button is missing and when turned on they will automatically connect.

• If everything is done correctly, then when the device moves on the screen in a similar way the pointer will move in the form of an arrow.

How to adjust mouse sensitivity

It happens that the cursor on the screen responds at the wrong speed or sequence than the mouse moves. There is a banal mechanical reason - dust has stuck from below, which is why the mouse begins to "slow down". You can also adjust the sensitivity setting, because it is completely inconvenient if it first slows down and then moves quickly:

• in the main parameters we find the "Devices" window, and by going into them, click on the "Mouse" setting;
• in the "Move" block, activate the "Increased pointer accuracy" check box;
• also in the "Visibility" section you can adjust the loop left by the cursor on the monitor screen.

ATTENTION. Changing the settings of the mouse, remember what and how to do it, and after each change, check how it affected the operation of the device so that you don’t have to look for how to get it back.
