Is Your Mouse Running a Little Slow

There is getting to be more people using wireless mice since there is a certain freedom to it but there is also still some people using the old style wired mouse. Why Is My Mouse Lagging, well it is out there which kind of mouse you have. If you have the old rollerball mouse chances are the little sensors that are under the mouse will have dirt and grease from your hands on them and not allowing the trackball and sensors to work together. If this is a case then take the little ring around the trackball by turning it and take the ball out clean it good with alcohol and then take a Q-tip and clean edge Sensor and then replace the ball. If you have a digital type mouse such as a laser or something like that then it could be your mouse pad has gotten dirty or you have the wrong type mouse pad. My laser mouse works better on dark surfaces, if it is away our light surface then it will not want to move.
