Why is there an asterisk after each word? Space bar gone bad? You are talking about a mouse here. Mice are cheap. Buy a new one.

I don't know. I'm typing normally.

It's appearing correctly now. Right now I'm posting from Linux. Earlier posted from Windows.

Just open the moiuse and clean with a cloth. there wud be a small red button below each mouse buttons-just clean it nd see if it works.
U can get a brand new optical mouse for 300 bucks.
