How to install e source 2.4 Ghz wireless optical mouse

Well you MAY consider this:

2 4 GHz Wireless Mouse 5 Buttons Optical Wireless 2400 DPI Notbook...

it's only slightly larger than yours BUT it is also only $3.75
and with more functions that your current mouse.

I am using one just like it now and like it so much I bought two more for spares... Not that I've needed a spare yet... but when this one finally fails, my replacement mouse will be like a old friend!



Hunt a bit for USA sellers too!

It is a power save mode! Just move the mouse and it should start up again!

Hi Charles,

The Maxell 2.4 GHz Wireless Safari Mini Optical Mice have more than cool looks. Since they are 2.4 GHz wireless optical you'll notice less signal loss. They also have 3 key buttons and a scroll wheel so you can speed through your computer programs. The Maxell mice are wireless so you don't need to worry about wires getting in the way. They can detect a computer up to 32 feet away. These are compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, ME, Mac OS 10.0 or above. Requires one AAA battery.

- So i do believe there is no on an off button on that mouse as I read on this site that says: "This one doesn't have an on/of switch, so in order to turn it off you have to disconnect the USB every time and store it underneath the mouse (annoying) . also, if it's idle for a minute (maybe less) the mouse goes in sleep mode and you have to disconnect the USB to wake it back up (super annoying) . The mouse works fine, it just gets old having to take it in and out all the time".

Look to see what items are installed on your computer.
Look under Installed Programs. See if your mouse and your key board are installed.

Welcome to FixYa!

Here's a quick checklist to resolve your wireless mouse connection.

Solution 1.
1. If the underside of the mouse has an on/off switch, make sure to set the switch to the "On" position.
2. Make sure that the battery of the wireless mouse is placed correctly and is not drained.
3. After checking the first two steps, the optical lens on the underside of your wireless mouse should be flashing once in a while. If not, there is something wrong with the battery, the wireless mouse switch, or the wireless mouse itself is defective.
4. Connect the USB dongle in the USB port and let it install automatically.

Solution 2.
5. Connect the USB dongle in another USB port and let it install automatically.

Solution 3.
6. Restart the computer with the wireless mouse turned on and the USB dongle inserted in the computer.

Solution 4.
7. Download and install the drivers from here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&softwareitem=ob-47909-1

I hope that this will help.

Wireless mouse will not work with linux OS. What is your OS. Is the OS listed in your mouse system requirement. Please use a compatible mouse.

Hi, connecting the Dynex Wireless Optical Mouse is easy. First, you need to install the driver for the mouse. It should have come packaged with the mouse, on the CD-ROM. If you don't have the CD-ROM you can download the driver from the website and install it:

http://www.dynexproducts.com/productSearch.html?query=wireless+optical+mouse&mainSearchButton=

Scroll down to "Dynex Wireless Optical Mouse" and click "English" next to "Driver:" to download it, then unzip it and install it.

Once you've installed the driver, all you have to do is put the two AA batteries in the mouse, flip the switch on the bottom to On, and insert the USB receiver into your computer. Your mouse should be usable right away!

Remove the battery of the keyboard and install new one and then press connect button from the keyboard side and the receiver side also.

Ref wireless mouse. Not sure if you have a solution yet but it seems there could be 2 sources to the problem. First a weak or decaying laser. Second, something you have introduced recently that could interfere with the wireless signal eg mobile phone, another wireless device, cordless phone, telephone wires close to receiver or maybe something else. Not sure what you do if the laser is failing other than clean the lens. You might have to get it checked or try a friends mouse to see if it is better. There s also a setting than can change the sensitivity of the mouse. Have you looked at those settings.
