I was wondering how much mileage you get out of your mice.
The one that came with this box, a laser mouse by Dell, (which I've never seen a single laser blast from it yet)now seems to have a right button that likes to stay active or click by itself which is a real PITA. It's been a little more than a year now, so I thought it should last longer than that. I know shit is cheap but so am I since I live on student loans and about $200 a month on the side. Would it be worth attempting a fix? I suspect the actual microswitch is what took a shit. Probably just more landfill material after I strip out what still works, if that's even reasonable or doable.
I guess I'm just really annoyed by this, since it's finals week and all I have on hand is this clunky trackball from an old WinXP machine. It's going to make CAD a challenge, relearning how to draw with a trackball. Fuck.
