I killed my peripatetic mouse

[bucolic_frolic]

I had this mouse on my laptop, generic backlit one I bought on eBay. I thought this old laptop was going bad because the touchpad died years ago. This mouse gave 3 clicks for every one click. I thought yahoo email was sabotaged, it would delete multiple items. I adjusted the mouse, cleaned it, resoldered the cord because it broke every few weeks. Finally I bought a used Lenovo mouse, late model, because it was what I found.

All problems solved. It wasn't the laptop, however beat up it is, it was the mouse. I had no idea a mouse that functioned could wreak so much havoc with electronics on a computer. Just thought I'd post it to alert other computer dolts like me.

1. Sometimes I hate meeces to pieces...I've got one that the single battery doesn't fit in tightly so..

it can randomly stop working...tried a little piece of foil but it doesn't stay in place well...another of my Mischief's center turning ring (which I use all the time for opening a new link in a separate tab) quit working. Must....buy....more....mice... 🐁

2. I've learned that every other year or so I need to

replace the mouse. They aren't that expensive.
