Default What's wrong with my mouse ?

Appear to be having issues with my mouse.
I've cleaned the fluff out of it ( produces the same warm feeling as picking ear wax), but it's still not pointing where i want it to

Any ideas?

Give it a good bang on the desk, then give up and buy a new one!

Have you scraped all the fluff off the moving bits inside? (sounds painful doesn't it!). Also, how is the mousemat......mine has problems when I spill beer on it.....!

Or perhaps a therapist might be able to help?!


Sorry - feeling in a jocular mood. Have you washed the little ball thing with warm water and a drop of washin up liquid? Give it a good dry and put it back in and make sure the little lid thing is on firmly.

That is about as far as my technical expertise goes - Scutter - can you help?

A guy where I worked before had mouse problems and used to bang it on the desk to clear it. One day he banged it so hard it just flew apart.....bits of mouse all over the room! Try explaining THAT to the IT dept!!!

Stop shaking...

I feel a little crazy
I feel a little strange
Like I'm in a pay phone
Without any change
I feel a little edgy
I feel a little weird
I feel like a schoolboy
Who's grown a beard

I'm livin' in the 70's
Eatin' fake food under plastic trees
My face gets dirty just walkin' around
I need another pill to calm me down

I feel a bit nervous
I feel a bit mad
I feel like a good time that's never been had
I feel a bit fragile
I feel a bit low
Like I learned the right lines
But I'm on the wrong show

I'm livin' in the 70's
I feel like I lost my keys
Got the right day but I got the wrong week
And I get paid for just bein' a freak

I feel a little insane
I feel a bit dazed
My legs are shrinkin'
And the roof's been raised
I feel a little mixed up
I feel a little queer
I feel like a barman that can't drink a beer

Optical mice are worth the extra cost. No moving parts to get clogged up. I will never go back to balls.
