How to Use a Computer Mouse
Do you continually 'miss' your target link when browsing the web? Well, don't worry. Though it may seem confusing or difficult at first, you can learn how to operate a mouse with these easy steps and tips.
Steps
1.Connect the mouse. If you drag it around the arrow on the screen should move around with it. If not, you may have a technical problem. Sometimes the arrow will dart around in spurts, or will move too slowly. The former will require troubleshooting (probably downloading a driver) and the latter can be adjusted in your computer's settings. If this doesn't work, consider using a wrench to open your mouse and remove any broken objects.

2.Mice (more than one mouse) can be used by either hand. If you are left handed, you can just place the mouse on the other side of the keyboard, if it reaches. The mouse will work the same.
3.Hold the mouse correctly. For Windows or PC users, place your pointer finger on the left button, and your ring finger on the right button. If your mouse has a button or 'wheel' in the middle, your middle finger can operate this. For Mac users, the mouse usually has only one button. Use any of your three center fingers to press the button.
4.To click, press the button (usually the left one, when there are two) and promptly release it. It should be a firm, quick tap, and the mouse should be still when you do it.
5.To double click (for opening applications, documents or folders), you must click (the left button) twice in rapid succession. If you have physical trouble with the required double click speed, your computer can be adjusted to suit your needs.
6.To drag files, press and hold the (left) button, then move the mouse without letting the button go until the file is where you want it to be.
7.Use mouse gestures. When you feel more confident you may like to set up mouse gestures.
