[WEB4LIB] Mouse problems

[Howard Pringle]

We ran into the same situation here. Tried superglueing the retaining
rings for awhile but that didn't work too well as we were then unable to
remove the accumalted lint, fuss and crud that accumulated inside the
mouse. Solution - we changed all publicly accessible mice over to
optical. End of problem (and we don't have to swap out mousepads every
week or so after they start looking like freshly plowed fields). The
opticals (we use Logitech) don't cost that much more and have paid for
themselves in reducing the amount of time staff had to pay fiddling
with, cleaning and replacing the old mice.

Good Luck,

Has anyone had a problem with missing mouse parts?  And what have you
done about
it?

We just found 6 missing balls and rings this morning.


Thank You for your thoughts.
