The main thing is to know how to connect it.

Ideally, there is no problem connecting a wireless mouse. To do this, just take the adapter from it. It is desirable that the brand of the mouse and the brand of the adapter match.
Find the USB port on the side of the TV and connect the adapter.

Connecting a cable mouse is no more complicated than a wireless mouse. The only difference is in the cable. One end is plugged into a USB port. This port can be found on the rear or side patch panel of the TV. As a rule, there are several such ports.

If the connection went as normal, then the inscription on the screen will inform you about it. You can safely use your “favorite rodent” and at least your favorite cursor, instead of an inconvenient remote control. Management will be like on a computer. Scroll the pages with a roller, and with the mouse click select the programs you need.
