3. The LED indicator on the mouse will stop blinking once the mouse is successfully paired with the USB receiver.
Step 4: Test the Wireless Mouse
Now that your Dell wireless mouse is connected to the USB receiver, it’s time to test it. Move the mouse on your desk and observe the cursor on your computer screen. If the mouse is working correctly, you should see the cursor move as you move the mouse.
Step 5: Install Additional Drivers (if necessary)
In some cases, you may need to install additional drivers for your Dell wireless mouse to function properly. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Visit the Dell website and search for the drivers for your specific wireless mouse model.
2. Download the drivers and follow the installation instructions provided by Dell.
3. Once the drivers are installed, restart your computer to ensure that the changes take effect.
