Re: wireless mouse dies

You mentioned having this mouse for awhile.  Used to have similar issues and something to try (low tech) is to clean the connections.  An eraser or equivalent will do if you can get to the connectors on the dongle.  Sometimes the connections get a micro build up on them and a mild non-residual abrasive does the trick.  Just a wag.  Worked with radio connections (which is where I was inspired) and worked on usb ports/dongles as well when I was support.

Yeah. As a hardware engineer that has, over many years, transitioned to

believe how often it turns out it's hardware like a bad cable or
something. My rule of thumb is "If it always happens, it's probably
software. If it's intermittent, then it's likely hardware. Or not."

Pournelle's first rule of debugging is, "The first thing you check is the cables."
