I haven't had any mouse issues with Linux Lite. Personally, I use a wired mouse. I'd be shocked if you had ANY mouse issues with Linux Lite that were USB based. I'd even bet many PS/2 based mice would work, but wwwhhhyyyy do that to yourself?

Thanks for your answer. Then i go and look for a mouse with a tail on it.

Never had a rodent problem with Linux Lite wired or wireless.
Did have a mouse problem with windows 7 the other Day.
The cursor was very slow.
I thought here we go .....B***** Windows again.
Turned out the mouse needed a new battery........ :-[ :-[

I was just about to say a wireless mouse would be ok. I just prefer to have one less battery to maintain, and one less attachment to not lose. So all of my mice have tails.

I think a wireless one wouldnt work here, before i realize that the batteries are the problem the mouse is already having free flying lessons ;D

Hi TMG1961,
Microsoft mouse user here, with Nano receiver in an older Compaq laptop, no problem whatsoever. Battery life is also pretty good. Microsoft and LL were made for each other, I guess...
LL6.6 in VM
LL5.8 Host
