Whether you’re using a wireless mouse for gaming, work, or general browsing, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to connect it to your HP laptop.
Step 1: Power on the Wireless Mouse
First, ensure that your wireless mouse is powered on. Most wireless mice have a small power button located on the bottom. Press it to turn the mouse on.
Step 2: Find the Unpaired Device Option
Next, open the Settings app on your HP laptop. Click on “Devices” and then select “Bluetooth & other devices.” In the Bluetooth & other devices settings, click on “Add Bluetooth or other device” and then choose “Mouse” from the list of available devices.
Step 3: Pair the Mouse
Your HP laptop will now search for available devices. When your wireless mouse appears in the list, click on it to start the pairing process. Depending on the model of your wireless mouse, you may need to press the pair button on the mouse to initiate the connection. This button is typically located on the bottom or side of the mouse.
Step 4: Complete the Pairing Process
After pressing the pair button on the mouse, you should see a confirmation message on your laptop screen indicating that the device has been paired successfully. If a PIN code is requested, enter the default code (usually 0000) and click “Pair.”
Step 5: Test the Wireless Mouse
Now that your wireless mouse is paired with your HP laptop, you can test it by moving the cursor across the screen. If everything works correctly, you can now use the wireless mouse for your preferred tasks.
