Modern laptops and netbooks are primarily aimed at comfortable work and mobility: they can be carried with you in a regular bag, they will work without additional devices. However, for many users, controlling a laptop with a touchpad and keyboard becomes a real torture. In this case, a mouse is needed.
Instructions
Step 1
Modern optical mice can be wired or wireless. To connect a wired mouse to your computer, select a USB mouse from the store. Plug the device into a USB port on your computer and get started. Wired mice do not require installation of special programs.
Step 2
Wireless mice are much more mobile than wired ones: they can be used at a distance of several meters from the computer, without getting tangled in the wires. However, these devices also have small drawbacks. Wireless mice use a battery or rechargeable battery that is inserted into the mouse. Due to the lower energy consumption, the sensitivity of the mouse decreases. In addition, you should constantly monitor the battery level in the mouse: power may be lost at the most inopportune moment.
Step 3
Before starting to work with the wireless mouse, you need to install special drivers in the laptop system. Insert the installation disc into your computer. The driver disc is sold with the mouse.
Step 4
After the system recognizes the disk, it will offer to install programs. Agree with all system requirements and install drivers without changing anything in the settings. Click "Install" and "OK" when prompted by the system.
Step 5
When the mouse drivers are installed, plug the USB mouse transmitter into a port on your computer. Wait while the system recognizes the external device.
Step 6
Turn on the "On" button on your mouse. It instantly connects to the transmitter and helps you control your laptop.
Step 7
If your computer has Bluetooth installed, you can use a wireless Bluetooth mouse. It will also work from its own battery, but the connection to the laptop will be carried out via Bluetooth.
