I just bought a new Logitech cordless optical mouse and it has a little pad with a connect button?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

To lamp1023, I'm not entirely sure why unplugging and reinserting the base station/dongle works better than pressing the Connect button. A technician friend once told me that this was the cordless mouse equivalent for a reboot, though I can't see why it would need one.

If the battery power on a wireless mouse starts fading, weird stuff can happen which can cause the communication between the base and mouse to become erratic. To simulate what this might be like, you could take some old handheld game (the type that would run with a 9v battery or a couple of button cells), and try dislodging the battery lid slightly and then rapidly fidget with the batteries so that the connection becomes inconsistent. You might notice anomalous characters or sprites or other stuff displayed on the game screen.
Different devices react to less than optimal power levels differently, but this might give you some idea of what it's dealing with. Obviously for a mouse, replacing the batteries would fix the problem for the longer term in this scenario.
