Logitech Mouse Unresponsive - Quick & Tested Fixes

Is your Logitech mouse unresponsive? It can be frustrating, especially since you rely on it for everyday work or gaming. In my experience, it’s usually caused by outdated drivers, software conflicts, or hidden files affecting its performance. Luckily, I’ll show you a way out of it.

But before I take you through the detailed solutions, try these quick fixes first:

• Make sure the mouse is turned on: Check that the power switch is in the “on” position.
• Check the battery: Ensure it’s fully charged, or replace it if needed.
• Try a different USB port: Plug the receiver into another USB port on your computer to rule out a faulty connection.
• Reconnect the mouse: Re-pair the mouse with the receiver to re-establish the connection.
• Restart your computer: A simple restart can often solve the problem.
• Clean the mouse sensor: Gently wipe the sensor with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or dirt.
• Contact Logitech support: If none of the steps work, contact Logitech support for further assistance.
