Mouse problem
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: WHRST
This mouse came with my PC about six months ago. Now it keeps disconnecting for no reason. It is not the USB i think but it might be. The usb works fine when i connect my usb hard drive to burn a series or two so i can watch them on my divx player.

I just did a search for that Moakuo mouse. I'm not sure what it is exactly. Is it cordless?
Perhaps a link to the product could help us.
The results of a search at Gateway show: We substituted mike in your query because we found nothing for "moakuo".

Chances are that the USB cable is bad.
I have this problem with one of my old mice. When you move it it disconnects because there must be bad continuity in the wire at some point.
When it disconnects the optical light goes off and i hear the ding sound from windows, then it comes back on and dings again a few seconds later.
You've likely got the same problem. I'd recomend just buying a new mouse, they're cheap anyway.

You rich Canadians are quick to spend other people's money, eh?
My recommendation - as a frugal, fiscally responsible American- would be to completely strip the USB cable and connectors down to the base components, individual wire strands if possible.
Reconnect everything in your clean room (you DO have a clean room, right?) and then, using your ocilloscope (conveniently stored in the clean room), run full electronic diagnostics.
Then go buy yourself a new mouse because none of my suggestions will make a tinker's damn of difference- your mouse is borked.

Hmm, you've got a Gateway mouse, and it has failed after just 6 months.
Surely it is still under warranty?
If not, why do you want to look for another Gateway mouse? :frusty:
Experience is surely already telling you they are unreliable.
You would be better off looking for a mouse that has the features you want, from a reliable supplier. Probably be cheaper too.

I actually have that mouse, it's really good for the money.

Cut the cable off.
It doesn't work now so you get a free upgrade from a wired mouse to a cordless model. :rolleyes:

can u recommend a good wireless mouse?

Depends what you want, and how much you are willing to spend.
Although you don't HAVE to do it, the best way is to get a keyboard/mouse combination.
This is very similar to the one I've got.

If you just want a standard scroll-wheel mouse, don't need the function keys and aren't bothered about rechargeable then there's this:

If you look at the price of cordless mice on their own you'll find they cost just as much as a combo.
