Whats wrong with my wireless Logitech mouse?

I've had it for about a year and it has worked great. That is, until a few days ago... Its still useable, but every minute or two it stops working. If you tap the mouse on the desk, it starts working again. Is it just that I need a new battery? Or is there something wrong with the mouse itself?

    I have had the same problem. Try putting fresh batteries in it. Try to use quality batteries and not off brand cheapo models. It worked for me.

    Have you checked the battery terminals for dirt,corrosion or damage?

    Has the mouse been dropped?

    Is the mouse optical or trackball?

    If it is a trackball type,unscrew the disk at the bottom of the mouse (see the indents on the ring to unscrew).Clean the ball and use an artists brush to carefully clean

    the mechanism.Disconnect from the computer first.

    If it is an optical type,there may be a loose connection to the LED.This would be a rare fault.

    If it is a battery problem then consult Logitech.

    I use a Logitech wired optical mouse that does not require any installation.I think it is a good idea for all computer users to keep on of these in the house.If there is trouble with your computer or the battery you will always have a reliable mouse ready to use in an emergency.It will give you time to sort any problem out.

    It cost me about £15.00.I would never buy a trackball mouse.They are mechanical

    and far less reliable than an optical mouse.A recent development is the Laser mouse.It is more accurate but may use more power.
