Wireless mouse my wireless dell mouse feels like it needs "cleaning" like a cord attached mouse where you can take the ball out and clean out the gunk. But how do I get the wireless mouse to have more pep?

    Thanks, did all those things and it helped A WEE BIT, but still not working like it should. Dell sold it to me, but its not a Dell it is call Logitech. I have had it almost 6 months. It seems like it should last longer than that. Do they just wear out fast.? I play a lot of card games.

Try a different mouse pad or use on a white sheet of paper.
Make sure there is no source of electromagnetic interference, like speakers, magnets, etc, close by.
Stay within a 4 foot range of the reciever.
Try a different USB port for the reciever, and try to elevate the reciever (if corded type), by placing it on a book.
Do not use the mouse on metal/glass surfaces as this can affect tracking ability.
Try a replacement of batteries with a fresh set.

Hope that helps!

    Well, I work for Logitech. The mice should not, in fact, 'wear out' that fast. If the solutions I provided did not help, you can try one last thing: a clean install. Here are the instructions that I posted as a tip some time ago:
    http://www.fixya.com/support/r545620-ins...

    Should that not work as well, you'll probably have to get your mouse RMA'd (if under warranty) or replaced. I think you will have to go through Dell to get the mouse replaced as this is an OEM product. Logitech will not RMA it.

    Hope that helps!

Scrolling keeps freezing
If this does it with fresh batteries and optical light is clean, also test on a solid colored surface before trying another mouse to see if it is the mouse or system board. Did this start with new download of another web browser? Software install/update? If mouse is older, need to remove ball and clean 3 wheels.

I can't scroll well using external mouse on laptop Dell inspiron1525, how can i fix this??
The problem is from the external mouse if your mouse is a ball mouse roll the ball round with your hand to ensure that it rolls freely clean all forms of dirt on the mouse and around the ball

If your mouse is an optical one wipe the optical surface with a clean cloth or cotton wool.

always ensure that you use your mouse on a smooth surface for proper scrolling.

The mouse that comes with my Dell computer (2 yrs old) doesn't move smoothly on the mouse pad and is difficult when trying to zero in on a speciific site. Thanks for your help.
The solution may depend on the type of mouse you are using. If it is a ball mouse, you may need to clean the ball, because dirt can throw off the sensors in the mouse. If it's a PS2 mouse connection (the round connector, not USB) try using a different mouse if you have one around. If it is a laser mouse, try plugging it into a different USB port on the computer, or try using a different mouse pad. If it is a wireless mouse, it may need new batteries, or may need to be synced up with the receiver again.

Rollerball on Wireless mouse keeps getting gummed up. Cleaning done frequently but need to open mouse to get inside cleaned ?
The Apple wireless mice aren't made to be disassembled, not even by techs. If you disassemble it to clean it, you must glue it back together.
The best way to clean the rollerball is to remove the batteries and roll the ball upside down on a cloth soaked in alcohol. Be sure to roll the ball alternately depressed and not depressed for the best cleaning, and roll it in all directions.
When this no longer works, you can either attempt to clean the ball yourself at your own risk, or purchase a new mouse.

Our mouse is jumping all over the place. Have removed the ball, cleaned, new batteries, etc. What else can we do. If there is nothing else, how can we keep our wireless keyboard connected but use a regular...
With a ball mouse the parts to clean are the two small spindles inside the mouse (they usually have little gears on the end of them). They run at 90 degrees to each other and over time dirt and grease build up on them. It can be quite difficult to remove. Scrape it off with a cocktail stick or similar - you will need to turn the spindle as you do this to completly remove dirt on all sides of the spindle.

Mouse sticking
Probably needs to be cleaned. Turn it upside down and take the bottom off that is holding the ball. Use a toothpick to pick the gunk out and then wipe the ball off with a damp washcloth. Let it air dry or wipe with a clean lint-gree cloth. Should fix it up. mine does that all the time.

I have model pc7530
Are you using an Optical mouse, Wireless Mouse or a Roller Ball mouse? If its a roller ball, turn it over, twist the cover as the arrows show, remove the ball and you will see some rollers around the edges that read the balls movement. Clean the gunk off of them with your fingernail or cotton swab. (NO WATER)
If you are using a wireless mouse, change the batteries and make sure you have a good line of site to the wireless adapter, and RESET the mouse by pushing the button on the wireless adapter. If it is an optical USB mouse please let me know, if any of the above worked. Thanks //D
