FAQs
Is this mouse suitable for gaming?
While the mouse offers precise tracking, its ergonomic design is primarily optimized for comfort during extended work sessions rather than high-speed gaming. For competitive gaming, specialized gaming mice with higher polling rates and different form factors might be more suitable.
Do I need special software to use this mouse?
No, the basic functions of the mouse (pointing, clicking, scrolling) work out of the box with standard drivers. However, to customize the programmable buttons, you will need to download and install the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center software.
What is the warranty period for this mouse?
Refer to the product packaging or Microsoft's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region.
Can I use this mouse with a Mac?
Yes, the Microsoft Ergonomic Wired Mouse is compatible with macOS for basic functionality. Advanced features like button customization may require specific software available for Mac if provided by Microsoft.
How do I clean the mouse effectively?
Disconnect the mouse, then wipe its exterior with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Ensure it's completely dry before plugging it back in.
Will this mouse help with carpal tunnel syndrome?
The ergonomic design is intended to reduce strain and promote a more natural hand posture, which can help alleviate discomfort for some users experiencing repetitive strain injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome. However, it is not a medical device, and severe conditions should be managed with professional medical advice.
Troubleshooting
Mouse cursor not moving
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to the computer. Try a different USB port. Clean the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse with a dry cloth.

Check if the mouse is clean, especially around the scroll wheel. If using the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center, verify scroll settings. Restart your computer.

Verify that the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center software is installed and running. Ensure the desired functions are correctly assigned to the buttons within the software settings. Restart the software or your computer.
