no damn screws on my mouse, some logitech mouse, go figure... besides
tearing the buttons off, I don't see how I could do anything like that. btw, the right and left button both act in the same weird way... maybe the switch is not the problem..... kony wrote: On Thu, 29 Sep 2005 08:33:40 -0600, "Quaoar" wrote: kony wrote: On 28 Sep 2005 15:29:52 -0700, "CFran" wrote: I've had for quite awhile now issues with my mouse buttons : when clicking once, it would act as if i double, even trippled click, while holding the left button, as for dragging something, something it would "drop", as if I had quickly released and pressed again the button, etc... Does it mean that there's something wrong with my mouse Most likely, yes. You could fiddle with the driver settings but it's most likely the button switch. and that I should just throw it away Right, at the price of a wired mouse in France, it is economical to tear the mouse down and then find, if you can, the exact part that fits into the exact place in the correct way to repair the mouse. If you're used to doing such things it's not as difficult as it seems- take a couple screws out, desolder the original switch, and add a switch to your next online order from an electronics house. Mouse switches are rather common, usually one of two types and if someone had an old mouse or two, odds are they already have a switch then could cannibalize. Probalby not worth the effort for most, but last time it took me about 5 minutes, total, as little time as it would've taken to find another mouse. |

I've seen do use screws but they may be hidden under the feet or a label, maybe in battery compartment too if a cordless model. btw, the right and left button both act in the same weird way... maybe the switch is not the problem..... Maybe not... intermittent cable (broken wire inside) is another semi-common potential fault that could cause it. |

Depends on the mouse, some are easily over $30, or more for the fancy new cordless and laser models. Certainly it's not worth repairing an $8 mouse. |

I won't even bother with taking the label off.. btw, the right and left button both act in the same weird way... maybe the switch is not the problem.....
