63975 2002-07-22 05:27:00 I bought a cheapo Genica scroll mouse from warehouse stationary for $12 new. Needed a mod for it to work properly (not hard to to - requires a screwdriver and a sharp knife -I can supply instructions)

Otherwise fine.

63977 2002-07-22 07:02:00 I bought an el cheapo, colourful mouse from Warehouse Stationery. Didn't last long. The cheap plastic case had rough edges where the wire came out and broke them. A small point to watch for. Heather P (163)

No, different mice ranging from $20 mitsumi/logitech/genius serial ones through to my current PS/2 intellimouse regardless of age.

It only happens in windows and usually only when clicking on the desktop.

It doesn't happen very often.
