List Of Common Mouse Problems

Here’s a list of the most common mouse problems along with their causes and what you can do about them:

1. Mouse pointer does not move smoothly.

Main cause: Accumulation of dust at the bottom of the mouse surface.

What you can do: Clean the dust at the bottom of the mouse surface. Clean or change your mousepad.

2. Mouse pointer freezes.

Main cause: High CPU usage or hanging of some application.

What you can do: Wait a few seconds and see if the mouse starts to respond. If it doesn’t respond after a minute or so, try launching the task manager from your keyboard (Ctrl + Shift + Esc for Windows, Command + Option + Escape for Mac). If that still doesn’t work, it’s time to restart your computer.
