Troubleshooting
Mouse is not moving the cursor.
Ensure the mouse is powered on and the batteries are correctly inserted and charged. Check that the USB dongle is securely plugged into the computer. Try a different USB port or device to confirm it's not a port issue. Ensure the mouse is within the 10m wireless range.
Buttons or scroll wheel are not working.
Check the battery level. If low, replace the batteries. Try re-pairing the mouse by unplugging and replugging the USB dongle. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Connection is intermittent or drops frequently.
Ensure the mouse is within the optimal wireless range (closer to the USB dongle). Minimize interference from other wireless devices or large metal objects. Replace the batteries if they are low.
Mouse not detected by the computer.
Verify the USB dongle is properly seated in the USB port. Try the alternative USB-A to USB-C converter if applicable. Restart your computer and try connecting again. Test the mouse on another compatible device to rule out a computer-specific issue.
