276299 2004-09-28 03:19:00 recently my USB optical mouse keeps reporting thats its being plugged in and out, in winXP it makes that dinging noise...
when i check the wires absolutly nothing is wrong and everything is pluged in.
this only started happening a few days ago and is happening very randomly, and very often, sometimes not heppeneing for 10min, but more often than not ,happening every 10seconds.

276300 2004-09-28 03:41:00 Sounds like a broken wire within the cable,most probally right where it enters the usb connection. metla (154)

276304 2004-09-28 03:58:00 You can get cheap USB optical for around $25 probably even less if you shop around. But why not spend another $20 and get a decent mouse? You can get a Microsoft Optical Wheel mouse for $43.88 or a logitech black optical mouse for $44.44. For that extra $20 you get a quality mouse that is actually comfortable. Pete O'Neil (250)

276306 2004-09-28 06:56:00 You have yet to learn,

When you buy, you generally only get what you pay for. Less margin of course.

276307 2004-09-28 11:51:00 you may be cheap but so am i but even i wudnt buy a cheap mouse because they break easily and are useless. Just spend $20 more and you'll save money because it will last longer and better. I'm only 15 and i know that :D hehehe Codex (3761)
276308 2004-09-28 11:56:00 The difference in quality between a 25 dollar mouse and a 40 mouse is nothing.

Besides which an optical mouse has no mechanical parts so should live at least a little while,my draw full of dead mouses is stocked with many different brands, i just gave up eventually and now use the cheap Excell Optical Mouse,none so far have died on me...Which is ironic...
