How to connect a wireless mouse

A few years ago it was difficult to imagine that two devices can communicate with each other without any wires. In today's world, wireless devices are becoming increasingly popular, and one of them is a computer mouse. It connects to a computer using radio waves. This connection method greatly simplifies the user’s work due to the absence of wires, which are often confused and interfere with the desktop.

The type of connection will depend on the type of mouse. There are 2 types of pairing: USB and Bluetooth for connecting the pointing device and the computer. All mice need power because there is no wire, and the computer cannot provide power to the device. At the bottom of the mouse there is a compartment where the battery is inserted.

Bluetooth mice connect to PC via Bluetooth. Therefore, the computer must support this type of connection. You can verify this by:

1. On the "My Computer" shortcut, right-click and select "Management".
2. Go to the "Device Manager" tab on the right.
3. If there is an integrated Bluetooth adapter, the list of devices should be set to Bluetooth. If it does not, then the computer does not support such a connection without additional equipment.

Some computer models may not be immediately recognized, and then the mouse will not work. To do this, the disk with the help of which the driver can be installed on the computer is included in the kit with the manipulator. The utility allows you to synchronize a laptop or PC with a mouse.

  During operation, the user may encounter several problems. One of them is the loss of an adapter from a USB mouse.

In case of loss or loss of the adapter that came with the mouse, you can try several ways to correct the situation:

1. In the digital store, you can ask about the availability of adapters for a particular mouse model. Many manufacturers take into account the fact that the consumer may lose this part, and sell adapters separately.
2. You can purchase the same mouse model with your hands along with the adapter. You need to change the "stuffing" of your mouse to the internal parts of the purchased so that the adapter can receive signals from this particular manipulator. Of course, you should buy a used mouse at a low price so that the costs are justified.

If the described methods were useless, then it is best to buy a new mouse.

The second difficulty is that the computer does not have a built-in Bluetooth adapter. It would seem that connecting a mouse using such a connection is impossible, but there is a solution. You should purchase an external adapter that will implement this feature on your computer. The acquisition of such a Bluetooth accessory will allow you to use the connection functions, and there are no differences between the integrated version and the external one.

Attention! If you have an old wired mouse, then do not immediately throw it away when purchasing a wireless option. The first can serve as an excellent replacement when, for example, the batteries at the wireless manipulator are exhausted or the device is unusable, and computer use is urgent.

Step-by-step instructions for connecting wireless Bluetooth mouse

To connect these types of mouse, you will have to perform several additional steps for synchronization:

1. Insert the battery into the manipulator to provide it with energy for operation. Then turn on the mouse.
2. On a laptop or PC, turn on the Bluetooth function, go to its section and click the "Add device" button.
3. If the mouse is turned on, then in the Bluetooth settings a mark of this same manipulator will appear, which you need to click on and connect. After the actions you can use the mouse. However, it should be borne in mind that Bluetooth must always be on in order to communicate with the pointing device.

You can configure a computer mouse for yourself. To do this, go to the control panel and find the "Mouse" item. In this section, all properties and settings will be displayed, which, if desired, can be changed (pressing speed, sticking function, setting for left-handed or right-handed).

1. An adapter is included with this type of mouse, which should be connected to a computer via a USB port. The adapter receives mouse signals and transmits them to a PC.
2. Insert the battery into the manipulator and slide the switch to the “ON” or “ON” position.
3. Check the performance of the mouse on the screen.

Thus, due to the fact that there are two types of wireless mouse connection, you can choose for yourself exactly the kind that will be convenient. The problems that arise when using the equipment by the user have a clear solution, therefore the advantage of wireless mice is also ease of use.
