FAQs

Does this mouse require any software to work?

No, the Dell MS116 is a plug-and-play device that works immediately upon connection.

Is this mouse suitable for gaming?

While it is functional, it is designed for office productivity and lacks the high polling rates and programmable buttons preferred by gamers.

Can I use this mouse with a Mac?

Yes, it is compatible with any computer that supports standard USB HID input devices, including macOS, Windows, and Linux.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 1.8 meters (approximately 6 feet) long.

Is the mouse silent?

The buttons provide a standard tactile 'click' sound; they are not silent-switched.

What is the DPI of this mouse?

Troubleshooting

Cursor is not moving or is skipping

Clean the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse and ensure you are using a flat, non-reflective surface.

Computer does not recognize the device

Unplug the USB connector and try a different USB port on your machine to rule out a faulty port.

Buttons feel unresponsive

Check for debris wedged between the buttons and the shell, and ensure the USB cable is fully seated in the port.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple, no-fuss installation
  • Comfortable ambidextrous shape
  • Consistent power via wired USB
  • Durable build for daily office use

Cons

  • Wired cable can create desk clutter
  • No customizable shortcut buttons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the MS116 is straightforward: simply insert the USB Type-A connector into any available port on your computer. The operating system will automatically detect the device as a standard HID-compliant mouse. To maintain the device, keep the optical sensor on the bottom free of dust or lint; if the cursor begins to skip, gently wipe the sensor area with a dry, microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning solvents on the plastic shell to prevent material degradation. The mouse is compatible with virtually all desktop and laptop computers featuring a standard USB port.
