    Hi I bought a wireless optical mouse from china on this websitehttp://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.9 but when I tried to use it my USB device is not recognised and the usb port is an unknown device. I have tried everything to get it working and from research it should be as it is supposed be a plug and play device. Any ideas what is wrong?

    well besides dodgy vendors, have you tried checking the website of the manufacturer for a driverpack?

    Or even with another pc/laptop ? I wouldnt say its drivers, as i have a logitech mouse and thats never needed drivers to work, but maybe this one does.
