Today there are two ways to connect a computer mouse: via the USB interface, and also by means of a cord. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Necessary
Computer, mouse, driver
Instructions
Step 1
Connecting a wireless mouse via USB. This method can be conditionally divided into two stages: installing the necessary software and connecting the mouse itself to the computer. Before you can use the mouse, you need to install the drivers on your PC, which must be included in the general delivery kit (there must also be a USB transmitter in the kit, due to which the mouse will work).
Step 2
Driver installation. Insert the CD with the software into the drive of your computer, and then install the appropriate drivers for your mouse model on your computer. During the installation process, it is not recommended to change its paths (if you are an experienced PC user, you can install the drivers in the directory you see fit). After the software for the mouse has been installed on your computer, you can proceed to connecting it.
Step 3
Plug the transmitter that comes with the mouse into any active USB port. Check if your mouse has a charged battery. After detecting the device by the computer, switch the toggle switch on the mouse to the "ON" position. Now you can continue working with your new mouse.
Step 4
Connecting a mouse via a wire. Here you will not have to perform any manipulations with the system settings. All you have to do is plug the wire into the corresponding socket on the back of the PC (the plug is usually marked green, hence you need the socket of the corresponding color).
