My mouse

Major Fuckup's Photo Major Fuckup 10 Sep 2009

Ok here the problem the left click button on my mouse is refusing to work properly so is it fixable like cleaning the inside of it or do i need to get off my lazy arse and get a new one?

Looks like your mouse has had a major fuckup.

How long have you had the mouse for? Might not be worth the effort attempting to clean or fix it, you can probably pick up a decent mouse for a good price these days.

Just buy a new one, a basic optical mouse is less than a tenner.

Even a decent upgarde mouse won't cost more than $30 I'd say (US here) and wireless mice in case you care would probably be $50.

Use Newegg, silly. Mx518 from Logitech or Microsoft's Sidewinder series are excellent choices.

Mx518: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...8&Tpk=mx518

Assorted sidewinders: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....tion=sidewinder

Lowest Sidewinder goes for $32. Mx518 goes for $40. Highest grade Sidewinder goes for about $80. Believe my, whatever one you buy, worth it. Won't break on you unless you abuse it proper, and plenty of nice functions/drivers.

Or you can just get a cheapo $5 used optical from any local comp shop. Your choice.

Since you have a job now, save up a little and get a Sidewinder or Logitech(pricey but their wireless is excellent) or Razer(sometimes overkill).
