[comp.sys.mac.misc] RESULT: Survey on mice losing mouse-ups

bin@rhesus (Brain in Neutral) (01/31/91)

Here are the current results of the survey on hardware configuration
for people who have mice that lose mouse-up events periodically.

Machine				System
IIsi	13			6.0.7	21
SE/30	4			6.0.5	3
IIci	2
IIx	2
LC	1
IIfx	1

Total	23			Total	24

(totals are not the same because one person tried two System files on
the same machine).

There were two reports in which the mouse in question was swapped with
that on another machine.  In both cases the problem followed the mouse,
which seems to indicate a bad mouse.

One other person disassembled the mouse and found a partially snapped
piece of metal in the button assembly.

A similar problem was reported by one person running a IIcx, 6.0.7,
with a Kensington TurboMouse.
