Get a USB mouse, and you can plug it into a laptop’s USB port. The computer should automatically recognize it (may take a few seconds) and you’re all set.
Just plug the external mouse in where ever the plug fits and reboot. You should now have a working mouse.
If the computer has USB, sure. I think you’d have trouble finding one that doesn’t have USB. Just plug in a USB mouse and you’re golden. If it’s a newer laptop it may have bluetooth built-in and you could opt for a bluetooth wireless mouse instead.
yes. Take the end of the wire (not the end with the mouse attached) and look for a plugin on the laptop that looks similar to the end of the wire. plug it in and it should work.
yes of course you can use any mouse at all most mouses will come with an installation disc just pop it into your dvd and follow the on screen instructions. any mouse will work just make sure it is compatible with your operating system. e.g. windows,windows vista,mac os x e.t.c.
BEWARE IF YOU ARE RUNNING ON MAC OS THIS REDUCES THE NUMBER OF MOUSE TO CHOOSE FROM!
ALSO MAKE SURE THAT THE CONNECTION TYPE IS USB VERY IMPORTANT!
HOPE IT HELPS LOL.
you have to buy a USB mouse which is compatible with your laptop and then it will work fine.
