20 Most Recent Dell 2 Button Mouse 6u226 Questions & Answers

The scroll wheels on these units have a plastic pin, if the pin is broken, it may not hold in place properly and droop, so you cannot spin the wheel. These mouse are no longer made. Replacement mouse can be found on Amazon and eBay for very little cost. The model you have posted has a PS/2 connector. There are still other mouse that are made with the PS/2 connector, if you need it.

Buy a new mouse, let pc find and install software,should solve issue

replace the batterys in the mouse and keyboard

It is very easy buy usb keyboard and mouse and use it it is plug and play.

With the older ps2 mouse like the one in your picture what usually goes wrong with them is the ball on the bottom gets dirty. Disconnect the mouse from your computer when your computer is turned off. Flip the mouse over and you will see a grey rubber ball in the center. On the outer edges is a black ring. That ring can be removed by turning it counter clock wise and once removed the ball will fall out in to your hand when you tip the mouse back over. Take the ball to your kitchen sink and wash it really good with warm soap and water. Then dry it off with a rag making sure that there is no dirt left on the ball rub it hard to make sure all the dirt is removed. Then flip your mouse over so the opening is facing up at you. Place the ring back in place and lock it down by turning it clock wise until it wont move anymore. This should get your mouse back to moving correctly around your screen. Plug it back in to your computer turn your computer back on again and test the mouse to see if it scrolls correctly across the screen again.


If the buttons are no longer working when you use them to click on something then my suggestion is purchase a new mouse. You can find a PS2 style mouse on Ebay they have a ton of those for sale and they are very cheap to purchase today.

I hope this helps you out.

Try the mouse in a computer where the USB ports *DO* work.

It is possible that your system does not have the correct "device-drivers" for the USB ports. Thus, those USB ports seem to be "dead".

Turn the computer off.
Connect a PS/2 keyboard and a PS/2 mouse.
Turn the computer on.
Click START
Click Control Panel
Click System
Click Hardware
Click Device Manager
Expand the "USB ports" section of the tree.
Look for "yellow" or "red" marks.
Double-click one of those "problem" devices.
Choose "Reinstall Driver".
If it asks to be able to connect to the Internet, click "yes, this time".
Hopefully, this will install the correct drivers for your USB ports.

Try crtl + S when the menu comes up.

i think u must have switched the primary and secondary buttons on ur mouse.i assume ur using windows.goto control panel-->mouse-->choose buttons tab-->u'll see a check box which sud read switch primary and secondary buttons.remove the check mark from here.sud solve ur issue...

I suggest going to a computer repair store and seing if they can fix it - shouldn't be that expensive.

Mice and keyboard are the two most basic input devices for the modern computer. Not much is needed to change them out.

Turn your computer off. Remove the old keyboard and mouse. Connect the new keyboard and mouse into an available usb port. Restart your computer.

You may have to wait anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes, depending on your computer, before the operating system recognizes the new hardware, but once it does, it will start responding.

it is possible you changed the scheme for your mouse pointers.

you can reset it back to the windows default by going to "control panel", then if you are using the catagory view, you would select "printers and other hardware" Next, select "mouse".

( if using classic view, simpy select "mouse" from the control panel).

Next, while on the "mouse" screen, select the "pointers" tab. At the top, there is a drop down menu for " Scheme". Choose either None, or Windows Default, and then click "apply" and then "ok".

Close out all control panel boxes and test.

Good Luck :)

This problem of yours has a simple solution:just change the left push to on switch.desolder the original one, get a switch from the local electronic market of the same type(if possible OR another one which will b placed correctly on d pcb and which ensures that d click works)
The problem is that the spring in d switch has lost it's physical properties,which is a aging problem.
Solder the new switch,and there u go,click click click,all working fine.

Try a different mouse on it to see if it does the same thing. Your mouse might be failing on you. If it does the same thing with a different mouse then it might be the software problem or perhaps drivers. You can also try to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for your mouse. If your running windows 2000 or later version of windows you can uninstall in device manager and restart the computer with the mouse still connected and windows should reinstall drivers for the mouse automatically. Goodluck!

Sounds like the button on the right might be sticking. I would replace the mouse.
