still kicking Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Now I had problems using my mouse on my laptop, when I used my mouse and tried to stroll up or down it would just go anywhere. Just using the mouse using the reel to go up and down it does not work. So, I bought a new mouse and thinking that will fix my problem and yes for a few days but now I have the same problems with the new one. What is the problem? Is it the Laptop? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimTripper Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 If it's a wireless bluetooth mouse it can skip and lag. I use a wireless one with a dongle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lungbing Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I had the same problem. I moved the mouse dongle from the USB port at the back to one at the front and that cured it. Just a bad connection I suppose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I can only suggest you try another one - the one that I wrote about - the Logitech 221 and maybe try a different USB port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new mouse is only a few months old I bought in Thailand since the old one didn't seem to work but the new one seems to give me the same trouble, I am thinking it is my laptop which getting old now.

chrisgdr Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I had the same issue. It is because of some dust stuck inside. You can either open it and clean it, or just use canned air to spray the dust from the wheel, or even blow with your mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still kicking Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 I did all that, but it did not make any different and don't forget the mouse is new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbko Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Two questions; Are you using Windows? And have you tried adjusting the mouse settings? By adjusting the mouse I mean; Open Settings: Windows key + I (shortcut) Go to "Devices" Select "Mouse" Then try the several mouse options available (mouse speed, troubleshoot, etc). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of shops which should be able to figure it out easily. It's hard to do that remote via a forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdavies99 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Actually, it may be as simple as "disable" the built-in laptop mouse, so the laptop just receives info from the plug in mouse you've bought, or download the software for the external mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't argue with me...I'm a millennial gamer.🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask what is the model of your laptop and the software you are using? Sometimes it could be the driver acting up or you need to update your SS.

IAMHERE Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Mine does same occasionally. I either plug the dongle into another port or restart the laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
