  • Verify the USB wireless receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port on your computer. Try a different USB port.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Ensure no other wireless devices are causing interference.
• Lag or Intermittent Connection:
  • Move the keyboard and mouse closer to the USB receiver.
  • Ensure there are no large metal objects between the devices and the receiver that could block the signal.
