Many people using Pcs and laptops face a lot of problems with their systems software and hardware. One such problem is the misbehaving mouse. The mouse pointer moves to some other corner of the screen when you are about to click. It becomes more frustrating when the whole window or program closes when you are working on some thing important. Sometimes a double click is done for a single click. These types of defects are more common.

The most common possibilities are

• Connection to the computer may be loose.

• There may be dust deposits

• The mouse driver software might have corrupted.( This is a very rare scenario )

• The mouse surface may not be uniform.

Solutions for misbehavior:

• Make sure the connections are not loose. These faults are more common in USB mouse drives.

• Regular cleaning and dust removal is required.

• Reinstalling the mouse driver software if recommended.

• Proper mouse pads can be used or the mouse surfaces should be uniform.

An optical mouse may not work properly on glass surfaces. While cleaning, make sure you use a dry cotton cloth to take the dirt away. If you use an optical mouse, you can try blowing dry air on the lens, a couple of times.

If you would have installed any software recently, chances are high that this software might conflict with the mouse drive software and make it not to work properly. I came across one such problem when I put in a graphic card in my system. I reinstalled the driver software right away. This fixed the problem. So the next time your mouse misbehaves try correcting it yourself.

Logo desk items are amongst the top promotional products. And if you would look at your client’s office desk, you would most likely find a computer. So if you really want to have a giveaway that your clients will appreciate and use at their place of work then you should imprint your logo on computers and laptops and start distributing them to your valued clients. But if you are just like most marketers, rational thinkers and have budget constraints (former does not always apply), then you would most likely settle for the 2nd best promo item which is a logo mouse pad.

Logo imprinted mouse pads are a tad cheaper (tad is an understatement) than our first (and absurd) suggestion. Yet, this accessory is at par with a computer in terms of visibility and exposure since there is a very high probability that your client who owns a computer also uses a computer mouse (unless she’s good  *cough*weird*cough* enough to had memorized all possible keyboard shortcut out there) which would also need a mouse pad for better control, precision, and speed (unless they prefer a recycled pizza box which also works).

Not yet convinced with the greatness of the promo mouse pads? Aside from being an effective fan during a hot and humid day, (also doubles as a swatter for that pesky fly that fancies your coffee) there are also a number of benefits from the oh-so-humble logo mouse pad:

1.Mouse pads serves as a great mat for computer mice (really?!? I didn’t know that…).

2.Through a mouse pad, the performance of the mouse is greatly improved by enhancing its precision and speed (also true for the recycled pizza box).

3.Mouse pads provide comfort for the user. Some mouse pads with ergonomic designs (ergo- what?) have built-in wrist rest made up of silicone gel or foam that can greatly improve the level of comfort for the mouse user.

4.For polished, reflective, and transparent surface, mouse pads are needed in order for an optical mouse to work effectively.

5.The pad also reduces the collection of dirt under the mouse which causes a jittery pointer displayed in the computer screen (and I always thought the cursor was just tired from all those double-clicking).

6.The desk surface can be worn-out or scratched by the frequent mouse and hand rubbing motion. This problem can easily be prevented by using a mouse pad.

7.Mouse pads have a wide flat surface allowing you to imprint not just your logo but even other important information like contact info and product list (wow that’s even better than MySpace).

8.Logo mouse pads will be placed on the desk of your clients allowing frequent logo exposure not just to your customers but also to their officemates.

With all these benefits, its really hard not to include promotional mouse pads in your marketing strategy.
