You start up Rust, push the play button, and then… nothing happens? Your mouse isn’t registering any clicks, is it?
Oh, come on, don’t be so scared! There is a good chance that there is nothing wrong with the hardware on your system.
It is likely that there is an issue with the default keybindings in the configuration file or with the settings for your gamepad. Let’s have a look at some potential solutions to this problem, shall we?
How to Fix Rust Mouse Not Working?
- Check for Problems with the Equipment.
In the event that the mouse does not function at all, the problem may lie with your computer’s hardware.
If the issue still persists, you might try changing the mouse that’s connected to your computer and seeing if it helps.
If the replacement mouse does not function either, then it is possible that the problem is with the computer’s hardware and you will need to get it repaired.
Check to see that there are no other applications operating on your computer that might potentially cause the movement of the cursor to be disrupted.
To do this, use Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and check for any open applications or processes that might potentially interfere with the movement of the mouse or the location of the pointer.
Try moving your cursor once again after you have shut down any superfluous applications, restarted your personal computer, and disconnected any unwanted accessories from the personal computer, such as printers or cameras.
- Update Driver Software
It’s possible that you need to update the driver software for your mouse if it’s not operating properly.
Entering Device Manager, selecting the Mouse tab, and selecting the button to Update Driver Software is the procedure to follow in order to do this.
After that, you will be given the opportunity to look for a new driver, install a particular driver from a CD or an online resource (such as Windows Update), or search for a new driver. When you have finished doing this, your problem should be resolved!
- Test Your Peripherals on A Different System
If you’ve tried all of these methods, but your mouse still won’t operate, it’s possible that the problem is in the hardware of the mouse itself.
Your first order of business should be to test the functionality of the peripheral on a different machine.
If it works there, then you know the issue is with your computer and not the peripheral device. If it does not function there, then the fault is with the device itself.
- Experiment with A Variety of Peripheral Devices
Check to determine whether the issue can be fixed by substituting the peripheral device (mouse, keyboard, etc.) that is plugged into your computer.
If it does, the problem is not with the game itself but rather with one of the peripherals that you have hooked into your computer.
You are going to want to try pulling everything from your computer and then plugging each peripheral device back in one at a time until you determine which of your peripherals is causing the problem.
