Welcome to Android Central! If you have to manipulate the plug in order to get it to work, then the connection is loose somewhere. It could be the cable itself, or the tablet's microUSB port. Try a different cable first.

Hi Tks for your response Not,sure what other cord,I could try. I,think it is a loose connection,inside.Was,hoping to,get around that.How,about the other,ports;If able to make mouse work have great weekend

When I mentioned trying a different cable, I meant a different OTG cable (which presumably means buying a new one, unless someone you know has one you can borrow).

Hi;I,had tried my CTG cable,on smart phone,other day,mouse worked.Meaning;Inside,of tablet USB must be messed,up.
Anyway,to use HDIM,port to hook up mouse,for keyboard?

I,had bought cords,to hook TV to tablet.Hay Game,too bright on TV. Tks;again

The cable used to connect a device to the HDMI port of a TV is different from an OTG cable. That's going to be either MHL or SlimPort, depending on the device and its compatibility (and many devices are not compatible with either).

I,have that cord,and had,tablet to tv,before.Game,doesnt look good. Tks,for all your help!!!Take care Pat

Hi;I,just realized,something.Why,would a wired mouse,work on desk top,at same time,Wired one does? I,want to undo cordless from,desktop.Maybe try again on tablet

 

[B. Diddy]

Sorry, can you clarify your question?

 

[abcwangfoo]

Not,sure which mouse,I was using on tablet .Do all cordless mice,Light up(lazer) maybe I need new batteries.

 

[B. Diddy]

I'm still not sure what you're asking. Are you trying to connect a wired or wireless USB mouse to the tablet? Or is it a Bluetooth mouse?

By the way, is there a reason why you have so many commas in your replies?

 

[abcwangfoo]

never sure how to do the comma,thing.Blond I,guess!! It's a cordless mouse.Has a spot that looks like lazer,does not light up.it is Logitec M187

Ok, so you have the mouse's wireless receiver plugged into the OTG adapter, and the mouse's power switch is on, right? Does the mouse work when you plug the receiver into your computer? If not, then try replacing the batteries, as you were saying. If it does work on the computer but not on the phone, then maybe wireless USB mice don't work well via OTG.
