My HP optical wireless mouse has just recently decided to flip the primary mouse buttons, where as the RMB now acts as the main button. I am used to the standard LMB configuration, and no matter how many times I try to configure it on the control panel for the mouse, it reverts back to this annoying stage. Can anyone provide me with a fix for this?

Hi..
Go to - Devices and Printers in Control Panel
Go to - Mouse properties and check for the Doubel click speed.. See to that it is not set to the max.

Similar problem which I resolved today.
I have a hp wireless mouse model no. 5189URF. I bought this in hp online in April 2009. It needs 2 x AA Alkaline batteries.
Steps I did to resolve.
1. Removed battery cover.
2. Removed batteries below which 2 screws exist.
3. Remove 2 screws and remove the top casing of mouse.
4. You can see 2 very small square push button corresponding to left and right clicks in mouse.
5. try to press the left button and make sure its free. The issue seem to be that this button becomes rusty internally and lost contact. Therefore clicks are not recognized. You may need to press it repeatedly and also with a slight thrust circumferentially.
6. You can test your mouse in WIndows Help & support option linked with HP hardware diagnostics tool.

From pictures, it looks like the top part of that mouse slide down.

Try holding it with the buttons facing toward you, and pushing with your thumbs on the top silver piece of the mouse away from you.

To change mouse settings in XP for left-handed users:
Click Start and click Control Panel.
Double click the Mouse applet.
Verify that the Buttons tab is selected.
Select the Switch primary and secondary buttons option is selected.
Click OK.

Try changing the batteries or charging if it is rechargeable or try re-syncing using the syn button.

I have a Microsoft wireless optical mouse 3000. There is a silver button on the end of the mouse that usually faces you when using the mouse. Press that silver button- while holding the button in, use your fingernail or something to help with gently lifting the main panel on the top part of the mouse. Lift up on the end of the panel that is closest to the silver button. The panel comes entirely off, revealing the inset battery. It took me a while to figure it out since I installed the first battery.. it has lasted over a year. Hope this helps with yours. Have a blessed day!

There is a light/button on the USB plug. After inserting the USB key press that button then immediately press the connect button on the bottom of your mouse.

Hope this helps fix your problem.

Normal 0 Turn the mouse over and find the small rest/connect button on the bottom of the mouse and press it. This should connect the mouse to the receiver and work properly. If not, try pressing the receiver button and then press the button on the mouse. This should be done whenever you change batteries or glitch.
Hope this helps you. Bud

you have two micro switches that wear-out quickly. try going to. Control panel. Click on Devices. Then on Mouse try switching your right button to left button on button options. try hitting restore defaults. Make sur your remote sending unit is plugged in and the lie is on steady. good luck Joe_Rex
