Does this mouse require any software to work?

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.
