+ <p>
+ Wireless and optical mice, as well as touchpads no laptops may need to "wake up" before they will work. To wake up your mouse or touchpad you can click on a mouse button or wiggle the mouse.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Laptop touchpads sometimes have a delay after you stop typing before they will start working. This is to prevent you from accidently touching the touchpad with your palm while typing.
