If you enable the Mouse Keys feature, many keys might not respond as you expect. Here's how to turn off Mouse Keys:

  • In OS X 10.8 or later, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click on Accessibility, then choose Mouse & Trackpad from the list on the left side. Then deselect the Enable Mouse Keys checkbox.
  • In OS X 10.7.5 or earlier, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click on Universal Access, then select the Mouse & Trackpad tab. Then select the Off button next to Mouse Keys.

If issues with keys persist, try starting up your Mac in single-user mode to see whether a software issue is causing the problem.

Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 3600 Not Working

I recently had the same problem with a bluetooth audio receiver, I had tried the receiver on my phone and it would not show under system preferences.


If you have connected the mouse on another computer make sure it has been 'forgotten' as the headset will try to connect to that device and will not be discoverable to another device.


Hope this helps!
