Mouse Genius Driver Download
Endike Baur
Found a 3 button "Genius Mouse GM6" which originally was with DB25 connector which was replaced to DB9. Mouse is not working and I'm not sure if issue is related to wrong soldering or it's just dead.
Does someone have such mouse and could specify which DB25 pinout corresponds to which color? Like: brown is pin 1 of DB25, green is pin 2 etc.
Now on DB9 it's: 5 - orange, 4 - blue, 3 - black, 2 - brown, 7 - white, ground - green. Green and orange are shorted.
What mouse driver are you using? If you've got a multimeter, might be worth checking what voltages are on each pin, relative to the orange or green wires. Also, with mouse disconnected, check the resistance of each of the wires to make sure there are no breaks (photo seems to show a possible break in the orange wire).
To make it work I had to use ctmouse with options /s /m. Otherwise it's a dead piece of plastic.
You use this dirver and load it in DOS, it'll find the mouse and you can use edit to see if it does anything.
JFYI: This mouse has a serial port connector, but the communication protocol is NOT "Microsoft", but a "Mouse Systems" It's support was removed from latest MS Mouse drivers. It needs it's own GM-6 driver or Cute Mouse ctmouse with /m parameter.
Hello. I am trying to get my genious mouse working on win 2.03. I added the genious.com mouse driver to my autoexec and it works fine in DOS 3.20. However I see no option to enable the mouse in the windows control.exe. This isnt to hard in Win3.1 but here is a different story. Can I actually do this or do I need to reinstall Windows with the mouse driver already loaded? (I added it after the installation).
However, you may have to track down a Windows 2.x or Windows/286 driver for Windows 2.03,
since Windows does not use the DOS drivers. An image of 5.25"Genius Mouse diskette from the late 80s may be helpful here.
Alternatively, you could check if the Genius Mouse can run in PC-Mouse or MS-Mouse emulation mode.
I don't know for sure, but early mice could "boot" into an emulation mode by keeping a button pressed, when the PC was turned on.
My difficulty is the following, from the keyboard, the keys do not work: Stop, Refresh, Search, My Computer, Excel and Word, it is also curious that it does not turn on or activate the Scroll Lock; it is the case of the mouse, the scroll wheel button does not react, it works because it clicks but its function is not activated. How can I solve these problems?

The Microsoft devices that are listed in the "Applies to" section do not include their own transceiver. Instead, the mouse or keyboard relies on the transceiver that is built into the desktop or portable computer to which it is connected. How the mouse or keyboard connects to the computer by Bluetooth varies. The connection depends on how the Bluetooth technology is implemented on the computer. If the the steps in this article do not resolve the problem, you may have to contact the computer manufacturer to find out how to turn on the Bluetooth service on the computer, and about how to add a device to the computer.
Note A transceiver is a kind of USB connector, which is a small plug that has a USB logo on it. To see a USB connecter, click the following link:
Press and hold the Connect button on the bottom of the mouse. If your device has a battery indication light, it will blink and alternate between red and green to indicate that the device is discoverable.
On the computer, open the Bluetooth software. The Bluetooth software is typically located in Control Panel. For more information about opening the Bluetooth software, see the "How to open the Bluetooth software" section.
Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
A Microsoft Bluetooth mouse does not require a passkey to connect to the computer. If you are prompted for a passkey, select No passkey. If you do not get the No Passkey option, try to enter 0000 as a passkey by using your keyboard.
If you cannot connect to the computer, you must troubleshoot the Bluetooth connection. For more information about how to troubleshoot the Bluetooth connection, click the following article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
There are several versions of Bluetooth software that help you connect your device to your Bluetooth wireless transceiver. For example, a Toshiba portable computer may use Toshiba Bluetooth software. Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP SP2 include Microsoft Bluetooth software.
For other portable computer manufacturers, see the documentation that was included with the computer. Or, contact the following computer manufacturers for more information about their Bluetooth software:
The devices that are listed in the "Applies to" section are designed to use Bluetooth functionality that is provided by the operating system. These devices do not require Intellitype or Intellipoint software.
Note Both mouse and keyboard devices may have the On/Off switch on the bottom. Refer to the following illustrations.Shining light (indicates that the device is on)
Changing batteries
Turning on or turning off the device
Press the sync button on the bottom of the device if the button exists. If there is a sync button, it should be located next to the Bluetooth symbol. If your device does not have a sync button, go to the next step.

Some of the following fixes require a working pointing device. Try using a pointing pen, a USB mouse, a touchpad, or speech recognition. If you have previously enabled the remote connection on your Windows 10, or that you have installed Teamviewer, use them as per your own needs.
7) After the restart, go through the process again. When you reach the following window, tick the box for Show compatible hardware. Then select the right driver for you. Click Next to continue.
4) Try on a different computer. If the same problem happens on a second computer, then your wireless mouse might be defective. In that case, you might want to contact the manufacturer of your wireless mouse for more suggestions.
Critical system files contain information necessary for hardware components and devices to operate, including wireless mice. If some of these files become damaged or go missing, it can prevent proper communication between the wireless mouse and the computer. Repairing corrupted system files can restore them to their original state and fix problems that are disrupting the recognition and function of the wireless mouse.
