So, all of a sudden, my desktop mouse

For my iMac opens a window? Or like a spotlight window when I try to drag or access the keyboard. I type this on my iPhone as we speak.

I have tried restarting. Unplugging. The mouse works for like 10 seconds and then…the spotlight windows…or finder windows. I can’t drag or type.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated

It’s wired. Maybe I need a new one. Or to connect my old Magic Mouse
