Mouse Connection and Input Response Issues

To confirm that your mouse is experiencing an input failure, observe the cursor behavior while moving the mouse on a flat surface. If the optical sensor light is illuminated but the cursor remains stationary on the screen, or if clicks are not registered by the operating system despite the device being plugged in, the system is failing to process input signals. Verify this by checking the system's peripheral connection status in the OS interface to see if the device is recognized as a connected hardware entry.
