I've been using this mouse for a while and have never once had to take the reciever out. My computer goes into multiple levels of sleep mode and I still don't have any issues.

I occasionally have that problem as well. I just pull the receiver out and turn the mouse off, and then put the receiver back in and then turn the mouse back on and it works fine.

Yes the mouse goes to sleep so you'll need to click the button. On the other hand I tend to hit the receive slightly and find that I need to wiggle it to make sure it's connected properly or the mouse won't work at all.

Usually the mouse goes into power save mode. Clicking a button pulls it out of power save. Hope this advice helps.

Have not had this issue, but would think you maybe right on the money. Your computer may be dropping "vampires" (Items hooked up to your USB that are using power (although very minimal in this case)). As i generally do a daily shut down I have not had this issue.

my sharkk mouse goes to sleep it seems after a while of sitting. I wake mine up by scrolling the wheel. it wakes right up. moving it or clicking buttons will not wake it up.

Hi: If the pointer doesn't move it's because the mouse has gone to sleep. If you click the left top button it should become active again. Anyway, that is how mine works. It took me a while to remember that. I would slide the mouse around and the pointer wouldn't move. Then I would remember to click the button and the pointer instantly became active. If what I suggested doesn't work, you will have to call the manufacturer. I haven't

I believe this mouse goes into sleep mode after a while, and it also hads an on/off switch which allows you to save battery life. When I go to use the mouse first thing in the day, it does not respond, however, all I have to do is left click and the mouse "wakes up". You could possibly have a bad USB port. If tapping the mouse doesn't wake it up, I would try using a different USB port. If that makes no difference, you could have a defective product. I hope this helps a bit.

One thing I notice is that the mouse seems to become unresponsive after a set period of time. However, all I have to do is perform a left click and it comes back online. I have rarely (if not never?) had a problem where I need to pull the USB receiver out of the computer to get it to work again.

No, I haven't had that problem, just the issue of every time the mouse doesn't move for a few minutes, or after turning the machine on, it's frozen and I have to click a bunch to wake it up so I can see and move it around. I'm thinking this is not a very high-quality mouse, though, after hearing your problems in addition. Hmm. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I had the same problem. It seems to work for me if I turn the power off in-between each use--meaning when I'm done working I turn it off and then turn it back on when I'm ready to use again. I've found that I need to do this if I have not used the keyboard for longer than an hour. Additionally, I always need to do this if I move my laptop to another room and then bring it back to my desk. This is an unfortunate problem because I really like the keyboard, except for this problem. BTW, I purchased the Bluetooth Sculpt Mouse at the same time, and I've never been able to get it to connect properly for longer than a few minutes.

I never had that problem, but a couple things to try. 1: restart computer to get mouse to work again and then go to the windows update screen and click check for updates. Download and install if any related to USB devices. 2: restart computer and go into the bios setup and make sure the "plug and play operating system" and "USB Legacy Support" are both enabled. Not sure it will fix it but it's somewhere to start.

This happened to me. There is a small reset hole on the mouse. Put the end of a paperclip in it and hold for about 20-30 sec to do a reset. It should fix the problem

My mouse does not have an "on" switch. After you put the battery in and put the usb adapter into the laptopclick the LEFT top button on mouse and wait about three seconds - it should then work fine. If I leave mycomputer for any length of time it will silence itself and you must click the left top mouse button again toget it going. Great feature as it helps extend the battery life. Good luck!** ALSO ** if working properly there will be a small red light illuminated on the underside of mouse - just flipit over and you will see it lit up if working...

Well, I got the same problem ! But after playing with the mouse a little, I realized that it was happening when the battery was weak.... So I buy rechargeable battery and the problem disappeared.

mine does also for about 5 seconds then returns to normal... i think it's a problem that every iconia has, however i have noticed that my INTEL turbo metre goes up when the random mouse clicking happens

YES. I had the same problem. It is noticeably larger than other mice that I've used. It is a big mouse.

Ihave Two of the 3M devices, one at work and one at home. Three comments1) the pain in my left forearm and elbo has lessened greatly (love the product) (2) I have had no issues with either device right out of the box, they worked great (3) suggest going to control panel and in the search window (assuming you are on a PC not a Mac) then type in "mouse". Look thru the functions, and reset to your desire bet you can resolve your issue. Have you contacted the seller or manufacturer for assistance? there you havit.

How long have you had the mouse? If you recently purchased it -- especially if from Amazon -- I would return it and ask for a replacement. It sounds like you're either having a problem with the actual mouse or with the driver.Just out of curiosity, what Windows operating system are you using it with?

The Mouse goes to sleep after a couple of minutes of being idle. Touch any button and it up and running instantaneously. I have been using mine for a couple of months and have not yet had to replace the battery.

I don't have any problems with my mouse and issue you are having don't occur with me. Sorry, maybe that mouse is defected.

Anyone have ANY luck at all getting spare batteries? I'm ready to buy a new one - just to swap the batteries out and then return it with my old batteries... Seems like alot of effort to go through, since these idiots don't reply to my e-mails. But I love the mouse, so buyer beware, you're on your own.UPDATE: on 11/22/2011 - I FINALLY received an e-mail from Saitek (took 6-weeks!). They do NOT offer spare batteries, and have no suggestion for me what to do with a mouse that has batteries that doesn't hold a charge. wow..

I rarely use the mouse except when editing documents. Have noticed that the mouse performance seems to vary between different programs. Would try variety of browsers and see if that makes a difference! All of my devices are behaving badly today. Ready to revert to stone tablet and chisel!!! :-/ Good luck to you, and happy holidays!

I have! It's extremely annoying. Any luck with fixing it? I bought my mouse in January 2014.

UPDATE TO THIS ISSUE: I went to Acer's Store (it's on your desktop unless you've deleted it), clicked on Tech Support and then Email Support. If you complete the form there and write a brief message, the site will come up with suggestions on the erratic cursor. I forget how it was labeled but it shows in a different window just how to adjust the sensitiviity settings to eliminate the issue most of us are experiencing! Try it, I think you'll be happy with the results.
