Try a different USB port, preferably one directly on the PC instead of a USB hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wireless mouse users should also check the battery, reconnect the USB receiver, and confirm that the correct DPI profile is active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft recommends reconnecting the device, testing another USB port, and removing USB hubs when troubleshooting mouse problems in Windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your mouse is responding again, check our <a href=\"https:\/\/daddyskins.com\/blog\/counterpedia\/best-dpi-for-cs2\/\">best DPI for CS2 guide<\/a> before changing your sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Restart_CS2_and_Fully_Exit_Steam\"><\/span>2.

Open Steam again and launch CS2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steam also recommends restarting the client while troubleshooting strange input behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A complete Windows restart is worth trying if the mouse stopped working after your PC woke from sleep or installed an update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Disconnect_Controllers_and_Extra_Input_Devices\"><\/span>3.

Launch the game again and test it in a practice match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steam\u2019s own troubleshooting advice recommends unplugging controllers and isolating input devices one at a time when inputs stop behaving correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also open:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Steam Library &gt; Counter Strike 2 &gt; Properties &gt; Controller<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set the CS2 override to <strong>Disable Steam Input<\/strong>, then restart the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more general optimization, read our <a href=\"https:\/\/daddyskins.com\/blog\/counterpedia\/best-cs2-settings-2026\/\">best CS2 settings for 2026<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/daddyskins.com\/blog\/counterpedia\/cs2-pro-settings\/\">CS2 pro settings guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Reset_Your_CS2_Mouse_Binds\"><\/span>4.

Uninstall CS2 through Steam, restart your computer, and install the game again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Test the game before restoring your autoexec, launch options, or workshop configs. If you restore everything immediately, you could bring the original problem straight back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the mouse works normally, use our <a href=\"https:\/\/daddyskins.com\/blog\/counterpedia\/cs2-aiming-guide-sensitivity-dpi-monitor\/\">CS2 aiming guide<\/a> to rebuild your sensitivity and monitor settings. You can also read the <a href=\"https:\/\/daddyskins.com\/blog\/counterpedia\/cs2-mouse-acceleration\/\">CS2 mouse acceleration guide<\/a> if your aim still feels inconsistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your mouse stops working in CS2, do not immediately reinstall the game or start pasting random console commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Test the mouse in Windows first. Then disconnect controllers, reset the binds, remove custom configs, verify the game files, and close conflicting software. This order helps you find the actual cause instead of changing five settings at once and never knowing what fixed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more troubleshooting, settings, skins, and Counter Strike guides, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/daddyskins.com\/blog\/\">DaddySkins CS2 blog<\/a>.
