1. Change the batteries?

2. I use one also. Check battery. Clean the bottom. Buy a new one.

They are inexpensive.

4. When I had a mouse the ball use to gather debris.

If you can open it wipe the ball off.

5. Take it out of the freezer?

Sorry. I know that’s not helpful. I couldn’t resist.

11. And to think.....

I actually held back when another poster said to try cleaning the ball of the mouse.

I WAS gonna' say to "always keep your balls clean" but I thought that might be a bit too much.



(OK, I did it anyhow - and it IS good advice! )

13. Very good advice, yes. n/t

8. What is the alternative

You said yes you use one as if there were some other way, am I missing something because I still use a mouse, too.

My Dell is 1 and a half years old.

It came with a wireless mouse and keyboard.

It is also a touch screen.

I have never used the touch screen.

The fingerprints would drive me crazy and I just like using my mouse.

12. Oh copy

I got a touch screen and use both, but mostly the mouse

9. Replace the battery. And if that doesn't

do it try updating the driver.

14. I still use a mouse, or course I've not upgraded to touchscreen yet

But I think I'll always use a mouse
