If your mouse is intermittently disconnecting, randomly missing movements and inputs - you might have a broken or damaged mouse cable. The mouse cable carries data from the mouse to your computer.

Before starting this guide try a different connector (most likely USB) port on your computer, and inspect the connector for dirt and debris.

This guide shows an easy, step-by-step process on how to replace the mouse cable in a Glorious Model O- mouse.
