Today’s featured tech tip….
Wireless keyboard or mouse acting weird? Do this.
Did you recently switch from a wired keyboard or mouse to a wireless model?
If so, you’re probably wondering why you didn’t make the switch a lot sooner. They really are that amazing.
Well I have a little tip for you…
If your wireless keyboard or mouse ever starts working erratically, it’s probably a sign that you need to change the battery.
Many such devices will simply stop working at all when their battery charge gets low, but some will keep right on working but doing weird things like skipping letters or jumping around on the screen.
I learned a long time ago that a new battery will cure most any ill that afflicts a wireless keyboard or mouse.
If the weirdness ever starts happening to you, don’t waste time trying to figure out if a setting has changed or if your machine has become infected with a virus.
Instead, just assume you need to replace the battery. 99 times out of 100 you’ll be correct.

Rick’s Daily Pick…
TP-Link Deco X55 AX3000 WiFi 6 Mesh System
Are there places in your home where your WiFi network’s signal is so weak it’s virtually unusable?
Or perhaps you have a usable signal that’s so slow you end up twiddling your thumbs while waiting for web pages to load or videos to buffer?
This awesome three node WiFi mesh system from TP-Link will blanket your entire home with a strong and super-speedy WiFi signal.
I’ve been using this in my home and office for a good while now and I absolutely love it.
