The other 1% may be a hair or fluff interfering with the slotted wheels you would have seen. The buildup of "stuff" on those rods that the ball rolls on, causes the pointer NOT to move as the ball doesn't grip properly. A clean was only an outside chance, so don't feel bad. |

I figured it might be the surface I use it on, so in future I must take mouse pads... whatever happened to the thing that optical mice worked on most surfaces, I mean come on, they work on CRT monitors, but not glass, and not a shiny wooden table top! |

| 181743 | 2003-10-10 20:03:00 | That makes me feel good Phoenix. Actually the new one clicks much more smoothly and I was surprised at how reasonable the replacement price was. So as you say, an upgrade was on the cards anyway. I'v picked up a lot of useful info from these threads. thanks everyone. willbry |
