Mice that spend their life running directly on a desk or other surface that is waxed will pick up wax on its rollers over time. This causes it not to roll smoothly. You can easily fix this by removing the ball from the bottom of the mouse and scraping the wax off of the three rollers with your fingernail. You need to rotate the rollers as you do this so that you can get all the gunk off. I roll my mouse on a mousepad, and it has solved this problem. It rolls as smooth as the day I bought it. -- William C. DenBesten denbeste@bgsu.edu

This causes it become opaque. You can easily prevent this by stopping your blabbering or by installing a windscreen wiper. However washers should not be included. I wear a gag and this has solved the problem (and also restored my credibility). My screen is as clear as the day when removed from its packaging. -- Robert M. Krohn
