mouse sticking periodically

[willawake]

i was suffering from the mouse sticking periodically, i thought it might be some bad prog maxing out the cpu or some hard disk problem. anyway today i replaced the mouse and the problem was suprisingly solved.

guess my original intellimouse explorer has had it.

troubleshooting occasionally leads to suprising conclusions.

guess my original intellimouse explorer has had it.

I have an intellimouse explorer version 1.0 on my server array, bought back in 1999 or so, still working today... However, my intellimouse expoiter 4.0, which is barely 8 months old, the left button works intermittantly.... If I bang it on the desk, it starts working ok, for a while.... I need to get a new one...

Re: mouse sticking periodically

same problem on my version 4.0 at home - lasted only a few months. the one at work is fine.

i was thinking to go wireless next but its expensive.

I think mine is a 4.0(optical,scroll wheel&wired) and it fails to fire once in awhile on the lt.click. Has a rough feel to it. It's an easy RAM to MS, from what I've read. A new mouse is inorder here and RMA of this one for a spare.

I killed my plaing counterstrike...

Must have been too many "BOOM Headshots"

Actually I noticed the micro switch inside is what was dead... same thing, bang it on the desktop and it would work for a while.

Re: mouse sticking periodically

The micro switches in buttons are often crap - just buy new and replace if you want to save your mouse.
