m18 R1, mouse don't work
Alienware m18 R1 AMD
When I plugged my mouse into my new m18 laptop, I got a popup that said the mouse was old and wouldn't work. The mouse pointer was very laggy when I tried to move it around the screen. It was over 10 years old, so that's fair.
I bought a new Redragon m656 mouse, and it occasionally works, but oftentimes it goes into a "mode" where left clicks only register 30% of the time and the pointer freezes when I try to drag things. For example dragging a scrollbar or dragging across text to highlight the text both become impossible. Restarting the mouse/computer temporarily make the mouse work again, but oftentimes only briefly. Touchpad works fine. Only mice have issues. I have Windows 11 and believe my divers are up to date. Is this another compatibility error?
What mouse can I buy that is compatible with this laptop?
