FAQ (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)

1. 1. When I open the MacallyMouse application, It does not detect my Macally
mouse (Not Connected). How can I fix it ?

A. Please test your Macally mouse first, cursor movement, button clicking; our mouse should work

as a regular mouse without driver installed. If the mouse does not response at all, please try it on
different built-in USB port or computer. If none of them work, the mouse is defective.

Normally, if the your Macally mouse works but can not detect the right mouse model automatically,
there’s conflict in your system. Please uninstall all the Macally mouse related files and any third
party mouse software, such as Logitech, Microsoft, Usboverdrive and Mighty mouse driver, previ­ously installed in your system, you may use Finder to search your computer and trash them manu­ally. Restart the computer after you cleaned all the mouse related files. You may always visit our
website for the most updated software.

2. 2. Why is my mouse cursor moving so fast or so slow ?

A. A. Please adjust the tracking speed from the Input Manager. Do not use “Keyboard & Mouse”

under the System Preference to do it. Different application might have their own speed settings,
please make sure to change the tracking speed for every application.

Also, you may test the mouse on a white regular printing paper, because the surface of your table
may not work well for the optical sensor of the mouse.
