Mouse Stopped Working

Mouse batteries are ok. Even bought a new mouse. It still will not connect with my iMac. Anyone have an idea of the problem?

It is an Apple mouse or an aftermarket device (current Apple mice do not have removable batteries)?


The previous generation of Apple wireless mice had batteries and only work via Bluetooth. If it is one of those, please see this Apple article on potential interferences that can negative affect wireless device performance:

An SMC reset may also help get the mouse recognized:
