The mouse works erratically
• If the mouse pointer begins moving
erratically across the computer display or
becomes difficult to control precisely,
cleaning the mouse will likely improve its
accuracy.
• Clean the mouse by wiping the bottom
with a clean, damp cloth. Make sure that
the optical sensor is clean and free of
debris.
