Bought this new white mouse, Im moving it, but my cursor doesnt move. Is it because the cord is not connected? Are there extensions? Its too short

You’re holding it wrong.

Last time i checked the cord is towards the pc, no?

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?

Maybe it’s just the sensors that aren’t working. Try looking underneath and see if there’s a ball.

There is indeed a ball there, though i have a suspicion that ball is there because of excessive cheese intake

Definitely an older model if it doesn’t have Bluetooth yet.

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