I have successfully fixed my Chinese mouse so that it performs like a Japanese one. Recall that someone had said that his mouse pointer did not accurately reflect mouse position changes (on his Chinese mouse). I had a similar problem which I traced to the idle roller assembly being loose. Unfortunately, it is loose by design. However, by stuffing tissue paper into the spaces between the roller arm and the roller housing I was able to get correct roller action. My mouse is now even smoother than my old Japanese one. Alternate solution: buy a mouse from another vendor...I don't think Atari has figured out how to make these things yet.
