My mice all have batteries. When I have a mouse malfunction, my first move is to<br>
replace the batteries. I coat the top and bottom of the batteries with electronics<br>
lubricant to limit fretting corrosion and other types of corrosion.<br>
<br>
My experience has been that if I have repeated problems "fixed" by pulling in and<br>
out the dongle, replacing the batteries is called for.<br>
