I was using my mouse just fine and now all of a sudden I can't use the scroll wheel anymore. That makes me sad :(
@Apollo Im Burning: I'd never had that happen to me before now lol that mouse must have been super old. I just switched it for a new one that works great.
Do you use a trackpad instead?

pls don't
I've had that happen before a few times, in my old wired mouse I just had to unplug it and plug it back in. In my wireless mouse, once was because the battery was getting old, and the second time I had managed to disable the scrolling. Don't remember how I fixed that one.
@Apollo Im Burning: I see. When I was a teenager I used to have a tablet and that's what I would do too. I really liked using it lol
@AelloTyphoeus: I see. It was a wired mouse, so maybe that was it. Everything else was still working though. lol I got myself a new mouse and this one is working. :vanora_upsidedown:
@Totalanimefan: Glad everything is working now. Hopefully you can at least keep the old one as a backup. It's always good to have at least one.
@AelloTyphoeus: Yeah I have the old one next to me still. I'm not sure where to put it lol
Wired mouse? I have a wiredless one for ages already. Wired mouse sounds like the stone age.
@vengeance: I know right. I quickly got a wireless mouse out of the storage room lol
@Totalanimefan: Yeah, that's always the issue with a wired mouse. If you've got a drawer near you, that would work, but depending on your monitor and how big the stand is, you may be able to wrap the cord around there and store the mouse that way.
Although I will say, wired mouses are the best for gaming. I've had too many issues with my wireless disconnecting in the middle of something.

@AelloTyphoeus: Good idea. I think that I will do that. ^^
@Totalanimefan: I mean it's a good place to keep it out of the way, but also accessible if needed.
@AelloTyphoeus: Totally. I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner lol
@Totalanimefan: I only thought of because I looked up at my monitor at work and went 'huh, that could work'.
@AelloTyphoeus: lol I'm at work too. I just started a new job yesterday where I work at the front desk and it's super cool here. I really like it.
@Totalanimefan: That's awesome!!! New jobs are always a treat and front office is so much fun!
@AelloTyphoeus: I had one front office job that sucked lol It was super busy and they only trained me for like 15 mins ^^;
This one is a slower pace, and the staff are super friendly.
