If yours is a Bluetooth mouse, make it discoverable by pressing the pair button on it.
Then, open your machine’s Bluetooth controls and select your mouse on the list of available devices.
We’ll show you how to get started clicking with your mouse on your PC or laptop.
Most mice have the dongle inside of them, sometimes stowed next to the battery slot.
If it doesn’t seem to work, try a different USB port.
So long as your gadget supports Bluetooth, it’s easy to set up.
