BT Mighty mouse lagginess fixed ?

My BT MM with D link on G5 and Steermouse is wonderful when it is working well, about 90% of the time. The other 10% it is choppy and laggy as others have said.
Yesterday I moved the D Link nearer to the mouse (was on the floor mixed up with power supplies etc) and it was good, but only a few hours later I updated to 10.4.8 and all is still good. So I am very hopeful that it is fixed, but don't really know whether the move or 10.4.8 fixed it (if iindeed it really is fixed).
10.4.8 claims to have improved bluetooth connectivity, perhaps it has.

Definitely fixed, but still don't really know if it was moving the D-link or 10.4.8. Probably the former.

  • Bluetooth mighty mouse laggy

    Is it just me, or are wired mouses more responsive. I've had to stop using my bluetooth mighty mouse because there just seems to be too much of a delay between when I move the mouse and when the pointer moves on the screen. Anyone?

    I get the lag when there is a lot of network activity such as copying a file across the network or when Time Machine is activated.
    I've tried changing the channel on my AirPort Express and it has helped but on some channels the wireless connection itself is less stable and keeps dropping periodically.
    I've yet to find the channel that gives me both stable wireless and no laggy mouse.

  • Resetting bluetooth may fix your mighty mouse scroll button

    I have had this problem with the scroll button on my mighty mouse for months and months, and the only advise I have managed to get from here when I complained was to clean it. But I tried that many times and I have had nothing but problems with it, so much so that I recently called Apple and they agreed straight away to send me a new one.
    What made me call them today was the clicking action and side buttons on my mighty mouse also failed completely, and I thought the thing was totally broke. Whilst I was on the phone I happened to mention that my wireless keyboard also keeps losing its connection, and the advisor told me to do this following...
    This advise was used on my MacBook 13.3inch model from last year.
    Turn off Mac, removed the power and battery and hold down the power button for 5 seconds. Then turn it back on, but while you turn it back on hold down the altcmnd+RP buttons together. You will hear it ching two times as it turns on, let go after the second ching.
    This apparently resets the bluetooth and it fixed my mouse, it now works perfectly.
    Anyway, I called apple back to say that this reset not only fixed my keyboard, but also my mouse. Everything now works perfectly. The problem was bluetooth all along and not that the button needed cleaning.
    But they said they would still send me out a new one, and so long as they received a mouse back in the post they wouldn't charge me. I accepted that offer and I'll see how it goes with the one I have. I feel that I may have damaged the scroll button trying to clean it and feel that I probably should get a new one anyway on account of that.

    Hello stu:
    What you apparently did (based on the feedback you got from from Apple) is reset the SMC (system management controller) and the PRAM. When one has odd problems that do not appear software related, those are sometimes suggested as troubleshooting steps.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Resetting the SMC should not, however, be used until other avenues have been exhausted (based on Apple guidance)

  • Dropped my Mighty Mouse. Anyway to fix it?

    My sister actually dropped my mighty mouse. Now when I shake it there seems to be a loose spring or something. Is there anyway to open it up and try to fix it?
    They should really have an "Apple Accessories" board.

    You should never try to turn on a device one it has been wet, until it has dried for a week or so.
    All the "stuff" should be on your computer.
    You can buy a new ipod.

  • Laggy Mighty Mouse (BT)

    My mighty mouse cursor is lagging often... It looks like it's "skippin" a bit around.
    That was not happening on my Mini before I switched to the Mac Pro. Any ideas?
    There is nothing running the background or weird process hanging either.

    I am having the same issue. My Mighty Mouse lags when I start and slow on mouse movements. I too went from a mac mini to a Power Mac.
    The only things I have connected are they Bluetooth Keyboard and Bluetooth Mighty Mouse.
    I even checked to make sure my phones Bluetooth was off.
    I downloaded the "imousefix" on version tracker and it somewhat helped. It is better but not 100% like it was on my mini.

  • Problem with Left Click (mighty mouse) and flash content

    Hi, Guys!!
    And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
    Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
    because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
    Only Happens when i use Firefox...
    Cheers.
    Well the issue is still there...

  • Mighty Mouse no longer working properly

    The Mighty Mouse has been irritating me quite a bit because the scrollbar frequently stops working. Usually, the cleaning method provides a temporary solution (very temporary considering I've lost count of the number of times this has happened) but now, something different has happened. While trying to use the cleaning methods suggested, nothing worked. I kept on trying and now, not only does the scrollbar not work but the buttons don't work, either. Whenever I try to left- or right-click, my dashboard keeps popping up.
    Maybe if Mac could make a mouse that we could open up and fix, this wouldn't be a problem...

    Well there you go then.
    Contact Apple with regards to a replacement as I do believe the mouse has a 1 year warranty.
    Luck-

  • My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down - only up and sideways.

    My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down; only up and sideways. It could be a hardware problem and I guess I should go and by a new mouse but before I do I thought I'd check whether there was any parameter I could change to fix or test this. Anyone else had this problem? Cheers.

  • Wireless keyboard and mighty mouse do not work with windows Vista

    I have a new iMac core 2 duo 20" used by my granddaughter.
    The drive has been partitioned using 50-50 with Boot Camp Assistant to form 2 250 GB partitions and windows Vista has been installed on one of them. The installation process runs smoothly as does the process when the OSX disc is installed for the relevant drivers for keyboard, mouse, isight camera etc. At the end of this process it is necessary to click a :"finish" button but at this point the mouse and keyboard have frozen and there is no other way of inputting information. Restarting in windows takes me to the log in page but there is no way to input the user name and proceed further.
    Apple support has suggested hat I use a wired keyboard and mouse or call Microsoft support. Microsoft support have told me that they do not support Vista on a Mac.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.

    I had the same problem on the mac mini from my dad with windows XP.
    I could install everything smoothly but when i wanted to connect the mighty mouse and a wireles apple keyboard i had the same problem.
    I fixed this by using a mouse with cable and then add the keyboard and mouse via bluetooth in the configurationscreen. i had to do do this 6 times (the same thing) before it worked so maybe its the same in vista

  • Problem with Mighty Mouse in Right Click with Windows Vista Business

    Hi APPLE,
    I have a laptop, Sony Vaio, with Windows Vista Installed in it, i have purchased Apple Wireless Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. Sometimes I get no response when i right click...when i disconnect the mouse, then right click becomes active...but after using for long, right click becomes left click and left click acts normally. Could anyone tell me why this is happening, Can anyone tell me any fix/update/patch Apple has provided for Windows Vista. Is there any driver to configure Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse in Standalone Windows Vista.

  • Cleaning scrollball on a mighty mouse -EUREKA! i've found an easy solution

    gotta hand it to a clerk at my local apple store, this tip is right on the money.
    i had problems with the mighty mouse scrollball sticking...not wanting to scroll down. i tried lots of tips i'd read online. i flipped it over, blew on it, wet the ball with a damp rag, ran it upside down on a piece of paper, and could never manage to keep it fixed for more than a few minutes. until this.
    take a paper towel and fold it lengthwise one or two times. apply a line of basic rubbing alcohol to the paper towel. unplug the mouse and hold it upside down. using a moderate pressure, roll the scrollball along the moisened area of the paper towel - back and forth and then side to side. in my case, i could see dark streaks of dirt appear on the paper towel. after drying the scrollball off with a clean paper towel, it was good as new. it hasn't scrolled so effortlessly since it was first new.
    i'm told any computer-type alcohol wipes will do the trick. this was cheap, easy and for me, effective.
    just wanted to pass it along

    Hello drandall
    Most likely that Apple Store clerk found that trick here in the Discussion Forum! I not trying to crash your party, but the ol' Rubbing Alcohol Trick® has been around here a long time!
    Have a look at the Forum Search below:

  • Mighty Mouse scroll ball problem

    I have had this Mighty Mouse for about a year and a half and the only problem has been the scroll ball. Every once in a while it won't scroll down. I was told to hold it upside down and rub the ball good with a wool cloth. Basically every time it did the trick. Now it won't scroll down anymore (it scrolls everywhere else though). Is there something broken inside? Is there anyway to take it apart? Not being able to scroll down is quite annoying and I'd love to be able to do it again.
    Scrolling down, the ball moves but doesn't make the little clicking like sound like it does in any other direction. Any advice?

    Hi. Sometimes using a clear spirit such as denatured alcohol (or vodka...) instead of the water suggested here
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302417
    helps - but I've had one that wouldn't be fixed, and was replaced. Good Luck.

  • MIghty Mouse Scroll Ball

    Not really a MacBook Pro question, but it's the laptop I have so I wasn't sure where else to put it.
    The scroll ball on my mighty mouse has been acting up lately. Yesterday it wouldn't scroll down, but it would go up. I noticed when I pressed down really hard I could almost feel dirt or something. So I pressed down, moved it around in all directions, seemed to take care of it.
    Today it scrolls down but not up. Same trick didn't fix it. I suspect it just needs a good cleaning, but not really sure how to go about doing that. Any suggestions?

  • Need Help: Wireless Mighty Mouse's Roller Ball Sluggish, Not Sensitive...

    Hello all.
    *I have followed Apple's Support Docu* to "hold the mouse upside-down and roll the ball vigorously while cleaning it to help dislodge any particles that may have collected on the internal hardware".
    But after I did that a few times, *my Mighty Mouse's rolling is still very sluggish, especially rolling/scrolling downwards, it is very in-sensitive, I almost have to push down the roller ball hard and scroll, then it will be effective.*
    *Any idea to fix this?* Or my mouse's "time is up"?
    Thanks and cheers

    Sure just needs cleaning. Get some Foam cleaner. Spray on tissue/cloth flip mouse upside down and scroll in the problematic direction for 2 mins.
    Add more foam cleaner to cloth and repeat until you have completed the points on a Compass.
    Its dirt and grease that causes that. Its a known design problem. A simple clean usually resolves for a few months and then you have to repeat again.
    ANY CHEAP FOAM CLEANER SPRAY WORKS FINE. as long as its for Computers.
