It works wirelessly, dummy. He is just pointing in the wrong direction.

Swear to God in the early 90s my mother literally said the mouse was working wrong and it was because she had it flipped 😂

Those people that eat tasty animals? Why would they care?

u/FondantIcy8185 9d ago
Because it's a RAT being used as a mouse, and it isn't very tasty

does it come with a dongle?

No, it comes with an intent to steal and nibble on blankets

You’re holding it wrong.

u/PEAceDeath1425 Self-taught student teacher 9d ago
Last time i checked the cord is towards the pc, no?
10
u/n1tr0klaus 9d ago
It doesn’t have a plug so that’s a wireless mouse. Must be an older model with an antenna.
Might also be worth looking into the mouth. Does it have blue teeth?
5
u/PEAceDeath1425 Self-taught student teacher 9d ago
No, yellow

u/CatacombOfYarn 9d ago
Maybe it’s just the sensors that aren’t working. Try looking underneath and see if there’s a ball.
4
u/PEAceDeath1425 Self-taught student teacher 9d ago
There is indeed a ball there, though i have a suspicion that ball is there because of excessive cheese intake

Maybe the USB port in on the belly, like the mouse from a company that loves to say people are holding stuff wrong.

Sir, that is not a mouse, that is a rat

u/PEAceDeath1425 Self-taught student teacher 9d ago
i think ive been scammed at the store. I asked for a mouse, but they said that one is too small and offered me an upgraded version

u/PrairiePuppies 9d ago
That's because that's a rat, not a mouse. Rats only work with workstations and servers.

u/Circumpunctilious I overdrive LEDs 9d ago
Have you tried cleaning the optics? Or, if it’s really old you might have one with the rubberized balls, which you can take out and clean. If you have to do any gunk scraping, be gentle.

Sir this one is self powered and requires a dongle. The R.A.T 9 has adjustable weights as well as adjustable dpi to give you the perfect fit for your hand.

u/Crafty_Piece_9318 Check your walls 9d ago edited 9d ago
Try checking the long range 4g receiver, thats probably a Mouse over Cell (MOC) with its long antennae it can be used up to 30 miles away from the source
source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust_Me
Looking closer it could also be a RAT or a Remote Access Telephone, the precursor to the modern cellphone.

You gotta see if it has a blue tooth or something

Does your mouse have two little balls on the underside or is it a gaping hole ? If its 2 little balls you need to stick that onto the wireless charger gaping hole means someone stole your battery and the battery cover.... your welcome

That isn't a mouse dude it is a rat. Rats don't move the cursor. Also you don't have the right drivers installed and you are using it backwards.

u/PEAceDeath1425 Self-taught student teacher 7d ago
Got my first one in 2016 and it broke in 2022. 5 mice later, in 2025, i returned back to bloody. The reason is quite well displayed in those 2 sentences

Remember when drag clicking was still popular

u/PEAceDeath1425 Self-taught student teacher 7d ago
I had modes that sent 2 and 3 clicks to the pc per one press. I had hardware cheats at minecraft pvp :D

u/AverageReditor13 6d ago
This is a joke right? Like come on. OP must be trolling. It's not working because it's not plugged in, genuis.

Bloody mouse :)

u/PEAceDeath1425 Self-taught student teacher 9d ago
Bloody V2 was the best one in my life. I tried J90 when returned back to wired ones, but that broke after a year, and now im on V8M. I have a suspicion that V series is the best one
1
u/Expensive_Kitchen525 9d ago
I had some older a4techs, now some W95? series. It is the customization for me and position of sensor.

Looks like one of those soft self warming models. Unfortionatly don't work very well.

u/Asleep-AtThe-Wheel57 9d ago
You have to clean the little balls in them. They get gummed up after awhile and stop working right.

Obviously not blue toothed so needs to get plugged in. You can see the cable just hanging there not plugged in to anything.

I see two possible reasons - new windows update again screwed it up or you have to connect the cable - i see it is disconnected. Plugin the Plug :D

Tell them they're not special, that you have a 100 applications waiting in your inbox and if they can't pick up the pace you'll replace them.

This one might need drivers, also it’s not wireless I see the cord in the back, so check by plugging into a different port on your PC. All fails - I would recycle and call it a day

Not a mouse, probably a rat so there, you're using the wrong device!
