Ideally, there is no problem connecting a wireless mouse. To do this, just take the adapter from it. It is desirable that the brand of the mouse and the brand of the adapter match.
Find the USB port on the side of the TV and connect the adapter.
If the connection is successful, then the screen will indicate that the new device is connected and will soon disappear. Feel free to turn on the television and start checking. You should see the mouse cursor on the screen.
However, according to the creators of Sony, Samsung, LG, only mouse from Logitech, A4tech, Genius will work with their devices seamlessly. Accordingly, the newer the TV itself and the device paired with it, the less likely it is to have connection issues.
REFERENCE! If you still have questions, you need to download the latest software version from the manufacturer’s official website and install it. This should help.
Can I use a cable?
Connecting a cable mouse is no more complicated than a wireless mouse. The only difference is in the cable. One end is plugged into a USB port. This port can be found on the rear or side patch panel of the TV. As a rule, there are several such ports.
If the connection went as normal, then the inscription on the screen will inform you about it. You can safely use your “favorite rodent” and at least your favorite cursor, instead of an inconvenient remote control. Management will be like on a computer. Scroll the pages with a roller, and with the mouse click select the programs you need.
As you can see, everything is very simple. But in order to avoid unpleasant incidents, it is recommended that you first read the user manual. But is your device really supported by a “smart TV”, maybe it’s time to update your mouse?
