When I would use them, they would freeze frequently. I know it is not the keyboard and mouse, because I have tried over 5 different keyboard/mouse combos, all of which had begun to freeze. I also tried them on a different computer, and they worked perfectly. I built the computer myself, and the components are in my signature. I hope someone can help me out, because I am currently using a wired keyboard and mouse, both of which are extremely uncomfortable in my setup.
Is there power?
If you are having trouble with your wireless keyboard or mouse, make sure the batteries are not worn out and are installed properly.
On some mouse models, you should see a red light emitting from the bottom when it is powered on when you lift it slightly off its surface. On others, there might be a power indicator light on it somewhere to let you know the power status.
On many wireless keyboard models, hitting the
Caps Lock,
Num Lock or
Scroll Lock keys will cause a light to go on if the unit has power. If your wireless keyboard came with a charging station or wireless receiver, the light might be there instead of on the keyboard itself.
Of course, the simplest way to test your batteries is to just replace them with brand new ones to see if that fixes your problem.
Check Your Surface Type
If you're having intermittent trouble with your mouse, make sure you're using it on a smooth, flat surface that is not shiny or reflective. We recommend using a mousepad to create a consistent work surface.
Resync Your Devices with the USB Receiver
Your keyboard and mouse work by sending wireless signals to a USB receiver that came with your setup. This might be a small hub that plugs into a USB port with a wire, a small dongle similar in size and shape to a thumb drive, or a very tiny unit that is barely visible once you slide it into a USB port. Sometimes the receiver gets out of sync with the wireless devices, causing them to stop working.
Resyncing the setup is fairly easy. There is usually a
Connect button somewhere on the USB receiver. Press that, and a light on the receiver should start flashing. Then press the
Connect button on the keyboard and/or mouse and the flashing light on the USB receiver should stop. Your receiver is now synced with the keyboard and/or mouse.
If your receiver does not have a
Connect button, refer to the directions that came with your mouse or keyboard to find more specific instructions for reconnecting your devices.
If you continue to have trouble with your devices, you may want to try connecting the receiver to another USB port on your computer. It might take a minute or two for your computer to recognize a device plugged into a USB port.
Test Your Devices on Another Computer
It's possible there's an issue with one of your devices. To find out if this is the case, connect your devices to a different computer to see if you encounter the same issues. If they are working fine on other systems then try changing USB ports to make sure which port is not recognized.
Update Drivers
If you are working on a Windows machine, make sure you are using the latest drivers and software for your device. Device drivers and software should be available from the manufacturer's website.
If Drivers already there then try to uninstall and re-installing updated driver. Few Wireless keyboard/mouse have Driver CD/Setup along.
Last solution if Keyboard/mouse working fine on other systems, then Re-installing OS might be helpful to recognize all ports and to make them work properly.
Good luck! I'm sure this information help you to fix this issue.
