smart putter geeks

OK my wireless mouse has started being stupid! I roll the wheel and some times it goes up and down when I am going the other way. I down loaded the latest driver rom Dell or MSN or who ever but it still does it, Now before I take a hammer to it and have to go buy a new one, anybody have any ideas>

Battery or fuzz that needs blown out?

Go buy a new one then take a hammer to it.

@skeets - - Did you try cleaning the bottom off?

Somewhere I probably have 5 of those darned things. I can send them to you. They might have some hammer marks on them and be in 10 pieces......

Just joking - - I've replaced them a bunch of times when they get wonky.

I'm not smart enough to fix them, which shouldn't surprise anyone here....

I've had my MS wireless for quite a while. Once in a while it screws up and usually it boils down to a weak battery of dirty light. I clean that out with a Q-tip dipped in alcohol and it has always worked for me. If all fails, they make a challenging air rifle target.

Replace the batts. Clean it up.

If not working, buy a new one.

I get a new mouse about every other year. I keep my hardwired mouse on standby.

I am far from being a "puter expert", but.....

I have about 5 of these wireless ones that I keep in various locations, because with out a mouse, my computer is worthless.

Trying to use that damn "track pad" is a lesson in futility for me.

TECKNET Bluetooth Mouse, 4000DPI Wireless Mouse for Laptop 2-in-1(BT 5.0/3.0+2.4Ghz) Computer Portable PC Mice Wireless with USB Receiver for Mac (USB-A+Bluetooth, Black)

They have increased from the original 8 bucks that they used, to 16 bucks now. (but what hasn't increased 100% in the last 6 years?........especially since according to .Gov, the inflation rate is only 3%. )
