I think my scroll wheel is breaking
« on: Wednesday, May 02, 2007, 05:09:26 PM »
I just noticed today that for some reason when I try to scroll down, it doesn't seem to do anything about 75% of the time, then it will move a little and then do nothing for awhile.  Going up it is fine, and the button click is fine too.

This sucks.  This mouse isn't even really all that old.  It's a MX-510.

BTW, how in the world did we ever get by without scroll wheels?  It's amazing how nice that thing is, and you don't even realize how much you use it until it is gone.

Odd, now it seems to be working.

I have a MX 518.

I used to have a MS intelli explorer and to be honest I can't really tell a difference.

I have a Razer Copperhead High Precision mouse. I think I got it for an awesome deal, it definitely wasn't 60$. But it works absolutely great.

Though speaking of PC accessories, I still need to get a better keyboard than the cheap beige one I have which I was forced to buy after my blue glowy Saitek one died. I'm so tempted to get this one

Can anyone really tell the difference between the precision mice? Mine has a lot of features, like DPI adjustment on the fly, but I hardly use it unless I am online.

Who cares. The thing glows. That's all that should matter.
