optical mouse malfunction

[RJK]

The short answer is optical mice are NOT fixable. However, you paid $110
for a mouse so it must be some extra special one. What exactly does it do
that my $3.99 mice can't do?

I always but cheaper ones so that if they are broken or "walked away" from
my desk then I won't have sleepless nights.

IMO ...you don't have to sacrifice cheapness for quality, when there are
Logitech M305 cordless. I've bought at least four, and they were around £13
each. I keep one in Laptop case, nano-USB receiver means you can leave it
plugged in. But, for lengthy periods of time in front of ones desktops ,
M305's cordless are simply brilliant.

After having owned and used quite a few mice ranging from very expensive to
quite cheap, the M305's are a DREAM !!!
Left and right mouse buttons are hinged, (instead of nasty flexible plastic
as on some cheapies), giving a "precision feel," with almost no effort to
use for long periods of time.
The "wheel" also has a left and right scroll action, (if supported in your
OS/apps.)
Not having a wire is another "heaven", ...wise to keep a pack of AA's
handy, one lasts for a good two or three months at least.
