****ING CENSORS!

yeah, fucking censors, right?
um.... y'ever try cleaning your mouse?
Open it up, take the ball out and look at the rollers. I'll bet there's a nice layer of crud all over them. Get some tweezers or something sharp and small, and BEING VERY CAREFUL, proceed to de-crud them. Make sure the rollers are clean, clean the ball, pop it back in and put the cover back on. Presto.
Optical mouseses aren't worth the hassle IMO. Bad for games, too expensive, yak yak yak.
When I went to buy my mouse I wanted the ball-ed kind, and the saleslady kept steering me to this optical mouse, like $50 MORE than what I wanted. She must work on commission or something.
Finally after seeing my kind remarks of "no thank you, I would just like this one" were not working, I said, a bit more harshly:
"Look, I want this mouse. The $30 one. Not the $80-plus-tax one. I want this one. If you don't stop trying to sell me that optical mouse I won't buy this one either and I will go somewhere else for my mouse."
Two minutes later I was purchasing my reliable three-button-and-a-scrollwheel ball Logitech mouse. Never had a problem with it since I got it three months ago, and I clean it about once a month.
If you have a cheap-ass shitty mouse though, and you can'topen the back of it (gotta love those ones eh) then go get one you can open and clean. I highly recommend the three-button-scrollwheel Logitech. Very good mice. The third button is the scrollwheel, instead of wheeling up and down with it you push it in, and that's what makes it three buttons.
