A Look at the Computer

Using the USB Optical Mouse

The USB optical mouse is available with select models. It provides the same functions as the scroll mouse and wireless wheel mouse except it uses an optical sensor instead of a mechanical ball to determine the position of the cursor on the screen. The surface on which you use the optical mouse plays an important role in tracking the cursor. When using the optical mouse:

Use a mousepad or a white sheet of paper underneath your mouse. Using it on a glass or see-through surface will inhibit the ability of the sensor to track the cursor.

Avoid using the mouse on a reflective surface such as a mirror or shiny metal desk. This may cause tracking problems.

Some wood grains and grooved surfaces may also cause tracking problems.

Refer to the “Solving Minor Problems” section in your Getting Started Guide if your optical mouse does not function properly
