My iMac 24” mouse is frozen. I cannot access computer functions other than signing on and off, what do I do?

My mouse doesn’t seem to correspond to computer. The arrow is frozen on the screen. I can type in to sign on and off but nothing else. I cannot access any other functions of computer with mouse

iMac 24″, macOS 12.4

Yes, any USB mouse will work (With the proper adapter)


You charge the mouse with the color-coded lightning cable you got with the computer. Unfortunately, you can't use the mouse while charging since the connection is in the bottom.
