daver Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Well first off its an optical mouse and it's about 10 years old. sometimes the light goes out and it wont move. so i will have to restart my computer and it will lighjt back up and work agian. o and by the way its usb if that makes a differnece. it also changes speed sometimes when u move the mouse like how fast the pointer moves. its jsut very annoying because when it goes out i have to restart. but i was wondering is it because its old or what? andyways would it be somethin wrong with my usb port? also the cord is short and its annoying jsut using it. i was thinking of wireless optical what do you guys think?

Bmw Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Well if you're having that much troubles with the mouse, just get a new one. They're not too expensive anyhow, maybe $30 for a wireless even... And do other devices work with that specific usb port? If you are concerned the USB port is screwed, check other devices in it and see what happens. Another thing to consider is the area that you are using the mouse on. Is the mouse on a mousepad? Is the mousepad clean/free of jagged edges or change in surface texture? If its not on a mousepad, is the surface it's on clean and free of jagged edges? Just things to consider. I'm thinking however, that your mouse is probably just old and dead. 1995....whoa. Thats like, Windows 93/95...pre high speed internet times. I think it's about time for a new mouse. You get a new computer every 3 or so years really, why still keep the same old mouse? I hope you were just over exaggerating :lol: AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 maybe not 10 years but at least 5-6. im pretty sure the usb works with other things. also it is on a mousepad an old and very dirt mouse pad. but the cord also is annoying i might just buy a new wireless one. but im also thinking of buying a laptop and i would prob need a mouse for that. i dont know what kind i would get that would work for both machines. but ill take a look around. if anyone wants to suggest one feel free to post a link. thanks.

Mementh Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 get a cheap logitech. they are like $15-30 depending on the modle.. and world liek beauties.. or spring for a cheap wireless.. that is much better.. though if your like any normal computer user.. get one that has a recharging stand. The following statement is true. The previous statement is false. 60% of all statistics are made up 90% of the time andrew i love you & want you to have my babys!!!
