Solution 1: Use Another USB Port
There might be some problem with your current USB port to connect the Logitech mouse. If it is so, your computer won’t be able to recognize the mouse, and the device will not function normally.

A corrupted or outdated driver can be an invitation to many problems. And certainly, you don’t want that with any of your devices. For now, you need to check if the current Logitech mouse driver version is up to date and install the latest version if available. Either manually download the latest driver from the manufacturer’s website or use the Windows feature for automatic updates.
Follow these steps to update the driver:
- In the search box on your Windows PC, type Device Manager and press Enter.
- Expand Mice and other pointing devices.
- Right-click on the mouse driver and select Update driver.
- Select Search automatically for drivers.
- Now, Windows will look for a new update for the driver. If a new version is available, follow the on-screen instructions to install it. If the latest version is available, you’ll see the message “The best drivers for your device are already installed“.
Alternatively, you can check for new driver updates using the Windows Settings app. Just open Settings, go to Windows Update -> Advanced options, and tap on Optional updates. Here, you’ll see the new driver updates.
Solution 3: Uninstall Mouse Driver
Sometimes, the driver update method does not work for various reasons. If you didn’t succeed, try uninstalling the driver and see if it can do the trick for you. You can easily uninstall a driver using Device Manager. Here are the steps:
- Open Device Manager on your Windows PC.
- Expand Mice and other pointing devices.
- Right-click on the mouse driver and select Uninstall device, and click Uninstall.
You don’t need to worry about the driver. Windows will automatically install the driver once you restart your PC.
Solution 4: Enable “Always on USB”
My Lenovo laptop comes pre-installed with the Lenovo Vantage software. It has the option called “Always on USB.” If you disable this option, all USB-connected devices, including your Logitech mouse, won’t work. If you also have a Lenovo laptop, open Lenovo Vantage and enable this feature. Other users should also check and enable their computer has such a feature.
Solution 5: Reset Logitech G402
Resetting the device is often the most effective solution, as it resets all the settings back to their default values. To reset the Logitech G402, make sure it is connected to your computer. Now, locate the reset button. You can find it at the bottom of the device. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds and release it. Now, unplug the USB cable and check if the problem is fixed.
Solution 6: Contact Logitech Support
If none of the solutions have worked out for you, the source of the problem is most likely the hardware. Either the chip inside the mouse or the wire has some defect. You need to contact Logitech customer support to get a replacement for your product or get it fixed.
