Mouse is not working
If your mouse isn't working, the problem is likely a lost connection. The connection between the mouse and the USB receiver can be lost for several reasons, such as:
- Low battery levels
- Moving the USB receiver from one port to another
- Moving the USB receiver to another computer
- Plugging the USB receiver into a hub or other unsupported device such as a KVM switch (NOTE: Your Unifying USB receiver must be plugged directly into your computer.)
- Using your cordless mouse on metal surfaces
- Radio frequency (RF) interference from more powerful devices such as:
- Wireless speakers
- Computer power supplies
- Monitors
- Cell phones
- Garage door openers
