Mac thinks mouse is a keyboard
Whenever I plug in my usb wireless mouse, my Macbook Air and Mac Pro both think that the mouse is a keyboard and won't register the mouse's movements at all. Is there a way to fix this?
The mouse is a cheapy Gigaware wireless usb mouse and I'm running OS X Mavericks.
This restored the default mouse behavior for me, though it looks like I had a different problem.
- Open keyboard settings in System Preferences > Keyboard
- Click
Modifier Keys...
button in bottom right of panel - Select your mouse from the dropdown
- Click
Restore Defaults
button to restore default behavior.
If that doesn't work, you might also try these instructions for removing your keyboard profiles and then restarting.
