I just stepped away from my laptop for about 10 minutes, and when I came back, the cursor was frozen right in the middle of the screen and unresponsive. I've tried unplugging it, uninstalling drivers, and restarting my laptop, but nothing seems to work. I also tested the mouse on a different laptop, and it didn't function there either. I even checked a mouse testing website, and while it registered button presses, there was about a 3 to 10 second delay on the input, which lasted just as long. Just to note, I'm using a TUF Gaming M4 Air on Windows 11, so I'm wondering if there's a hardware issue since it didn't work after all these attempts. Any thoughts?

Hey, I’ve had some luck with getting a new mouse after experiencing issues like yours. For lightweight yet good quality mice, I've found that models from Logitech or Razer work really well. You should definitely check out reviews to find one that feels good for your hand size and gaming needs!
I had a similar issue before and ended up trying a different mouse, which worked fine. It sounds like your current mouse might just be toast. If you find the other mouse too small for your hand, there are plenty of budget options out there. You can get a decent one for around $5, but I recommend choosing something slightly better quality so it lasts longer.
Disassembling the mouse can be a bit of a gamble. If you didn’t see any obvious issues inside, it usually means something small is wrong that you can’t fix. Like you mentioned, switching to a different mouse seems to confirm it’s a hardware problem. If you’re on the hunt for a new one, make sure to check out some lighter options that might suit your style!
