Hi @lavan1,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your gaming mouse!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Check Connection:
- Ensure that the mouse is properly connected to your computer.
- Try unplugging and re-plugging the mouse into the USB port.
Check Software:
- Make sure you have installed any drivers or software specifically for the HP M260 Gaming Mouse. This software often includes settings for customizing lighting.
- Visit the HP Support Page to download the latest drivers and software updates if you haven’t already installed them.
Software Settings:
- Open the HP Gaming mouse software (if installed) and check the settings related to backlight or RGB lighting.
- Ensure that the lighting is enabled and set to the desired mode.
Check on Different Device:
- Try connecting the mouse to another computer to see if the backlight issues persist. This can help determine if the problem is with the mouse or the computer.
Restart Computer:
- Sometimes restarting your computer can resolve peripheral issues including mouse backlights.
Inspect the Mouse:
- Check for any visible damage to the mouse, particularly around the LED lights and connection area which may be impacting the functionality.
I hope this helps.
