Hi Dan Mac,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

I know it’s annoying when a cordless mouse just won’t connect. The Q&A Assist has given the first troubleshooting steps, so I'll just share some suggestions based on your mouse's mode. Here's what to consider:

1 - If your Tecnet mouse uses a USB receiver

• Plug the USB nano‑receiver into your computer.
• Turn the mouse ON (switch usually on the bottom).
• Wait 5–10 seconds for Windows to install the driver.
• If it still doesn’t work, try plugging it in another USB port.
• You can also replace the mouse battery and try again.

2 - If your Tecnet mouse is fully Bluetooth

• Turn the mouse ON and press the pairing button until the LED blinks.
• On your Windows PC, open Settings > Bluetooth & devices
• Make sure Bluetooth is ON > Add device > Bluetooth:
  • If you see the mouse in the list, select it.
  • If you don't see it at all, the mouse is not pairing.

If possible, test adding other Bluetooth devices (e.g. your phone, your earbuds...) to see if your PC can find those. If nothing appears in the list, it often means the Bluetooth's drivers are corrupted. Let me know the results of the test, and whether your mouse has a USB dongle or is Bluetooth!

To connect a Tecnet cordless mouse, follow these general steps:

1. Turn on the Mouse: Make sure your mouse is powered on. If it has a power switch, ensure it is in the "on" position.
2. Make the Mouse Discoverable: Depending on the model, you may need to press a button on the mouse to make it discoverable. Refer to the mouse's documentation for specific instructions.
3. Open Bluetooth Settings: On your computer, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices. Ensure Bluetooth is turned on.
4. Add Bluetooth Device: Click on Add Bluetooth or other device, then select Bluetooth. Your computer will search for available devices.
5. Select the Mouse: When your Tecnet mouse appears in the list of devices, select it to pair.
6. Follow Pairing Instructions: If prompted, follow any additional instructions to complete the pairing process. This may include entering a PIN or confirming a connection.

If your mouse still does not connect, ensure that:

• The mouse has fresh batteries (if applicable).
• It is within range of the computer.
• There are no other devices interfering with the connection.

If issues persist, consult the manufacturer's documentation for troubleshooting steps specific to your model.
