Oh hai.

I've got a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical. Its not new... recently, it started pausing for no reason. Example, after I finish typing this post, and grab the mouse, it wont move immediately it'll take a half second to start moving... almost like how ball mice react when they're dirty. The eye is not dirty, I've tried plugging it into a USB hub and different USB ports on the back of the computer... no luck.

Is the mouse just dying, or is there something else you can suggest? It 'works', its just really annoying.

Sounds like it's on its last legs. Might I suggest the new Microsoft IE 3.0 for a replacement?
