No, the Speedlink Ceptica mouse is a plug-and-play device. Simply connect the USB receiver to your computer, and it should be recognized automatically by most operating systems without the need for driver installation.

What type of battery does this mouse use?

The mouse requires one AA battery for power. A battery is typically included, but check the product packaging for confirmation.

The mouse features 2.4GHz wireless technology, providing a stable connection with an operating range of up to 10 meters from the USB receiver.

Can I use this mouse with a Mac computer?

Yes, the Speedlink Ceptica mouse is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux operating systems due to its standard USB interface and plug-and-play functionality.

How do I clean the mouse?

You can clean the mouse using a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What does 'ambidextrous' mean for this mouse?

Ambidextrous means the mouse has a symmetrical design that is equally comfortable and functional for both left-handed and right-handed users.

Troubleshooting

Mouse not moving the cursor

Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into the computer. Check that the AA battery is inserted correctly and has sufficient charge. Try plugging the receiver into a different USB port. Re-pair the mouse by pressing the connect button (if available) or re-inserting the battery.

Intermittent connection or cursor jumping

Check for potential interference from other wireless devices (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, other wireless peripherals). Move the mouse closer to the USB receiver. Ensure the mouse surface is clean and the optical sensor is free from dust or debris. Replace the AA battery.

Scroll wheel not working correctly

Clean around the scroll wheel to remove any dust or debris. If the issue persists, it may indicate a hardware problem.

Mouse unresponsive after a period of inactivity

The mouse likely has a power-saving feature. Move the mouse or click a button to wake it up. If it remains unresponsive, check the battery.
