Multiple mouse problems with multiple mice
First let me say these problems are somewhat intermittent. At least they started out that way but have become pretty much become full time. Problems started on a regular dongle type wireless mouse, USB mouse worked fine so I replaced the wireless with a Bluetooth mouse, which worked fine for a couple of weeks before starting to act up, getting to the point now where it's basically unusable. I never imagined having same problems with both mice, so thinking the Bluetooth mouse was having different problems, spent two weeks trying to diagnose the problem, but everything comes back as correct. Problems are the same with both mice. As I said problem started out to be once every few days, and then works up to the mouse being unusable. I'm thinking it's the Dell combination wireless/Bluetooth radio since both methods of connection are acting up, I know the wireless mouse is actually USB, but it's still wireless. I have the touch-pad disabled with the Dell touch-pad software.
All drivers are up to date, using windows update, three separate driver updater's, and the Dell website, all have the same driver available (based on number, date, size). Bluetooth mouse has lights that correspond to click and movement, including direction, those are still correct, but not output. I know those lights are probably a separate system than actual mouse functions, but still they are still working. What could the problem be? I did try a new Bluetooth dongle in case Dell built-in radio was bad, but it throws a red exclamation point, but it works correctly on two other pc's.
Problems are
1. Stuttering, cursor will just hesitate as it moves across the screen
2. Sometimes if mouse sits for too long (such as typing) it becomes unresponsive (cursor does not respond click does not respond) the only way to get it working again is to restart the pc
3. Trying to click inside a text box (such as this one), unable to click, it just does not take control of text box
4. Trying to place a check inside a check box, again results in being unresponsive, and not selecting box
5. Trying to close a browser tab, or close a OS window, will result in multiple clicks closing between 2 and 4 tabs/windows
6. Right-Click doesn't work correctly either
7. Trying to change tabs does not select new tab
8. Trying to click the Start menu to open it, will require 15-25 clicks, not including right-clicks. Same with anything your trying to open, close, or select.
9. ON a side note, I was trying to listen to a Bluetooth headset the other day and it resulted in a lot of stuttering and skipping (could be bad headset)
10 Trying to insert cursor into middle of a word to correct a typo will result in an entire large paragraph being selected (turning blue), only way to correct it is to get the USB mouse.
11 Troubleshooter always returns "No problem found"
12 Wireless mouse also with cursor speed set to maximum cursor is so slow that it's unusuable
13 Just now while writing this it seems USB mouse has started to act up, but I'm not sure just yet it may be my (paranoid because of all the problems) imagination
14 If I have to restart the pc because mouse is totally unresponsive, restarting will make it work again however it still does not work correctly, but it does respond.
15 Other problems exist that escape my memory at the moment too much to try and remember
