That's always a good starting point before trying to mess with the settings.

Check batteries in the mouse.
Check the RF chip in the USB port that your mouse uses.

You can also use the ease of accessibility keyboard that will appear on your screen. You may need to download a new driver for your mouse.

Good luck.
