How To Test a PS/2 Mouse

  1. Plug the mouse into the mousetester
  2. Open the program OpenOffice
  3. Check that the pointer on the screen moves around when you move the mouse.
    • Recycle the mouse if the pointer does not work
  4. Check that the left and right buttons work.
    • Recycle the mouse if either of the buttons does not work
  5. If the mouse has a scroll button in the middle, test to see if it works.
    • Recycle the mouse if the scroll button does not work

To recycle a mouse, cut its cord. Place the cord in the shopping cart full of cords & place the mouse in CBM (large metal container in hallway)

Where the Functional Mice Go

After testing a mouse, neatly tie up the mouse's cord and put the mouse in 1 of 3 boxes:

  1. Pack 2 button mice into a box
  2. Pack 3 button mice into a box
  3. Pack mice with scroll button into a box
Note:
When a box is full, write the quantity and type of mice on top of the box & ask where it goes
