My Mouse

My mouse isn't working well. When I direct it to go left, it sometimes doesn't want to move. I'll click it, but it won't feel my tap, so I have to push it hard. Once today, it got kind of nutty and did a shaky-wiggle thing all by itself. 

I had a tech person open my computer and look at my mouse. Other than a few dog hairs falling off of the battery, things looked pretty normal. He couldn't even find moisture from the little bit of tea that cascaded onto the mouse last week.

I think I'll try giving it some cheese. 

That ought to do it!

    Cheese would work? Why didn't I think of that. I have thrown away two of them.

    Mice also like peanut butter. But it can get a bit messy.

    HAha! Why didn't I think of that?
    I don't even use one - just the finger pad on my lap top. it can get quite finicky at times too -- but my wrists definitely thank me.

    Cheese is a safe bet with some mice, but for this one, I'd recommend a tangible mouse backup (just in case). :)

    If the Babybel doesn't work, nothing will.

    Mice can be so temperamental! Hope the cheese worked!

    You should buy it a nice wheel as well it sounds like it needs excersise hehe!


    If it is playing up uninstall the mouses software from device manager restart the pc and plug the mouse back in to reinstall...if that solves it jump up and down 3 times and Can Can around the room.

    If bribing it with cheese doesn't work, you could sic a cat on it!
