How to Troubleshoot an Optical Mouse
Aside from being lightweight, more sensitive and accurate, you are also not restricted to requiring a Mouse Pad when using an optical mouse. There are basically two kinds of optical mouse: One that uses infrared or laser beam. They have a light emitting diode, commonly blue or red in color on the bottom to track movements. The other kind uses optoelectronic sensor to take rapid images on the surface it moves on to calculate motions. Above devices eliminate the use of a roller-ball (which can be heavy, and less precise), like that used on the older, conventional mouse.
Despite that, optical mouse can have other problems. If you find your mouse pointer self-jumping around on your computer screen, at times stuck, or is slow responding, there are reasons for why it is acting that way. Determine the kind of optical mouse you have, and follow some troubleshooting tips for optical mouse .
- Step 1
– For All Optical Mice –
• Check the connection if it is a wired kind, make sure the mouse receptacle is secured in the receiving port on your computer. On wireless mouse, be sure the batteries are good and the remote sensors on the computer and mouse are working. There should be a battery monitoring graph on your screen that was installed with the mouse software that came with it.
• Update your mouse driver. When you use a newer type mouse, your old operating system driver for the mouse device (e.g. Windows 2000 or XP) may be outdated; rendering the O.S. not properly recognizing the mouse. Contact your operating system manufacturer for an update.
• For wireless mouse, try to keep both mouse and the receiver away from other metal materials or wireless devices that may block, weaken, or mess the signal. Also, move the mouse closer to the remote receiver on your computer while in use.
- Step 2
– For Infrared and Laser Kinds –
An infrared or laser optical mouse requires a surface that can reflect the outgoing beam from the infrared or laser diode back up to the sensor in the mouse. There would be no issues as long as the surface can reflect the light back to the receiver.
