<div class="IPBDescription">Need help</div> My mouse sometimes stop working like it stops sensing movement and the buttons stop working. I have to replug the mouse for it to work again. It can get really annoying sometimes. My mouse is a optical mouse with a USB plug with a PS/2 or whatever you call it (Round plug) you can plug the USB into. It happened like 5 months after I got the mouse or so. Any idea what is causing this and how to fix this? Don't feel like trying a different mouse or those mouse with the ball.

    You need a new USB-> PS/@ converter. Sounds like your converter plug is breaking apart.

    I have one of those mice so it's imperative I know.

    Nothing to do with the plug, i got the same problem sometimes, i think it is an internal hardware problem or a windows issue. Annyway, when i get those problems again i open my mouse (dual optical from logitech), clean it, check the wires and close it again.
    After that it works like a new one.

    Also when the mouse stops working it stills glows. But doesn't do the turn off thing when you lift the mouse and turn it upsidedown pointing at ceiling.

    So I should buy a new mouse? Problem = mouse? No way to fix?
