STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

  • Connect your mouse
    Plug in your mouse or turn it on if itโ€™s wireless. Make sure the computer recognizes it.
  • Open an online mouse tester
    You donโ€™t need to install anything. Just open the tester in your browser.
  • Click each mouse button
    Left click, right click, and any side buttons. Watch the screen to see if each click is detected.
  • If it lights up or shows a response, the button is working.
  • If nothing happens, that button may be failing.
  • Scroll the wheel
    Scroll up and down slowly. Then try faster scrolling.
  • Smooth movement means the wheel is fine.
  • Jumping, skipping, or reversed movement means a scroll issue.
  • Move the mouse around
    Drag your mouse across the screen.
  • Smooth tracking means the sensor is working.
  • Stuttering or freezing points to a sensor or surface problem.
  • Test dragging
    Click and hold, then drag.
  • If it drops randomly, the click may be cutting out.

UNDERSTANDING MOUSE COMPONENTS

Mouse buttons

These are the left and right clicks you use all the time. They wear out faster than other parts.

Scroll wheel

Used for scrolling pages. It has small mechanical parts that collect dust easily.

Side buttons

Often used for back/forward or gaming shortcuts. These can fail without you noticing at first.

Mouse sensor

This reads movement across your desk or mousepad. Dirt, scratches, or bad surfaces affect it.
