Wireless Mouse

Have just started using a Labtec wireless optical mouse that I was given Christmas 2005! - I always take a time to think about using something new :rolleyes:
It is ok except that when using it the cursor suddenly shoots across the page right off the screen sometimes. Is there any way to correct this?

 

Don't put your cheese sandwiches on top of your monitor !


In control panel have you set up the sensitivity correctly ?

 

"In control panel have you set up the sensitivity correctly ?"

Ermmm - what's that? Didn't know I could do that but I will investigate.
Thanks BM but I might have to come back and ask more questions

 

All set up now - thanks BM, and even cured it from shooting off the screen by changing the mouse mat, which was red with white splash pattern on it, to a plain black one!

 

I know they can take a while to figure out. And sometimes they have some 'quirks', I hope it works ok now.

 

Only thing I didn't like about wireless rodents and keyboards is they go through batteries like no tomorrow. No damned off switch so to conserve battery life you have to keep taking them out.

Because of hand problems (arthritis) my GF has a trackball - now that is sweet to use

 

It said in the blurb with the mouse that batteries would last about 3 months!
Not true then Frogesque?
:eek:

 

Mine have lasted nearly 2 years, since I have had this computer, maybe I'm lucky.

 

I have no problems, mouse and keyboard, batteries last an age and I have re chargable ones so not a big problem.

 

That's good to hear Strongy and Waco

So 2 years from now I will replace the batteries

 

I have a battery free wireless mouse. It has its own mouse pad and that gets plugged into the pc. It's great. The mouse is beautifully egonomic to hold and never fails. Highly recommended.
