Gear Head  Mouse Logo
Anonymous Posted on Oct 16, 2011

My mouse won't stay on. I've been using a Gear Head Optical 2.4 GHz Wireless Nano Mouse (Model No. MP2375BLK) for about a year now with no problems until today. For some reason it won't stay on anymore. It worked just fine yesterday and yes I did change the batteries, and no they are not rechargeable ones. The red optical light shines for about 2 seconds and then turns off.

    I have the same problem and NO it is NOT the batteries! And you don't need drivers! Anyone else have any ideas?

    I have a Mac and I took out the interface hub, and took out the batteries. Then I replaced the interface hub and while replacing the batteries I held down the command key. It worked. I got this idea because I found an answer for PC that said to hold down the key that has two arrows making a circle. Mac doesn't have that key so I used the command. All I can say is that it worked for mine.

    i have same model, same issue, although i'd say the red light under the mouse only flashes for a second as a make battery contact. i used to reinstall the usb receiver plug and batteries over and over until i got disgusted or it worked. maybe the cheap $10 unit is kaput...?

    I found the answer for PC is to while replacing the batteries hold down the key that has two arrows making a circle. I don't have a PC so I don't know if that will work but it's worth a try.

SOURCE: the mouse keeps jumping can i fix that?

Reinstall the drivers and try using it on a matt surface. If you got any utility software with the mouse, do install it. If issue persist, you should replace it.

Will this mouse work on a wndows rt surface tablet

You should have a receiver which looks like a USB dongle that is getting plugged into the tablet, unfortunately they don't offer any drivers from Windows 7 onwards. To sum up all this the mouse might not work because they do no provide the drivers for Windows 8
