My Hermit Crab Wont Let Go of the Mouse Wire, Help!?

I am not sure what to do without causing damage. First of all unplug the mouse. Second try coaxing him to grab something else, you could try blowing on him and his claw, or putting a straw or toothpick inside his claw and getting him to release the mouse, then he will hopefully release that toothpick, and if not you can put him in some shallow water to bathe and that should get him off.

Why is my mouse sticking?

Do not know about the keyboard but turn the mouse over and where the ball is turn the collar that holds it in and remove the ball. You should see 2/3 bars that the ball rotates and more than likely there is crud on them, just get a toothpick or nail file and scrap it off then reasemble. that should help. Cheers CBX

Is there a way to control the mouse wheel resolution in Debian?

You can control the acceleration of the mouse (and scroll wheel) through the commandline program xinput. Use xinput --list to list the input devices. You can then use the ID of your mouse to list its properties like xinput --list-props . There should be one for the scroll wheel acceleration. You can change it through xinput --set-prop . You might have to experiment with the values a bit to figure out the right one.

How can I catch a mouse in my kitchen?

idk if this will work in ur case or not, but we did this in the attic once: u need a bucket, a ruler, and peanut butter. put peanut butter in the bucket, and lean the ruler up against the bucket so the mouse can get into the bucket, but once its in it cant get back out. it depnds on if u have the heart to kill the poor thing or not. if u want to kill an innocent mouse, then fill the bucket with water, and stick the peanut butter on something tha will float, like a plastic lid. if u dont want to kill the mouse (good for u =D) then leave the bucket empty except for the peanut butter. the mouse will climb into the bucket for some nice peanut butter, but wont plan ahead and get stuck. u have to make sure the bucket is deep enough though. when we did this with my attic, the peanut butter was gone, poop was all over the bottom, but there was no mouse, he got away with our peanut butter. but anyway try this and i hope it helps.

Is there a way to use a Desktop Wireless Key & Mouse on a Laptop -?

You need to elaborate. What is keeping you from using it on your laptop? Your laptop should have a PS/2 port for the keyboard, and a USB port for the mouse.

How do I pair a bluetooth mouse in Debian?

This is on Debian 10, but I think it worked exactly the same on Debian 9.Make sure that the bluez and bluez-tools packages are installed and that bluetoothd process is running (systemctl status bluetooth).Hold down the "Connect" button on the mouse until the bluetooth status LED on the mouse starts to blink rapidly, to make the mouse pairable. Run bt-adapter -d to discover devices in range. For each discovered device, a series of lines identifying the device's name, alias, address, icon type, etc. will be displayed. Find the block of lines referring to the mouse to confirm it is discoverable for pairing. When done, press Ctrl-C to stop the discovery. (The mouse seems to be a Bluetooth Low Energy device, so this step will verify that the system's Bluetooth receiver can communicate with it.)Then run bt-device -c aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff to start the connection attempt and automatically attempt to pair the device since it is not already paired. It may prompt for a pairing PIN (for devices like mice, usually 0000) or just confirm that you want to pair with the device. Later, if the mouse wo not connect automatically, you can use this same command to establish a connection to it. If the pairing already exists, it should not prompt you for anything. Finally, run bt-device --set aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff Trusted true to allow it to connect automatically from now on
