MS intellimouse explorer 4.0 problem

[batmang]

welp, ive gone through two of these, and the reason ive gone through two is due to the left mouse button becoming.... stiff.

i have to click semi rough to make it work and i have no clue why it happens.
ive never dropped the mouse, the cable isnt peirced or crimped in anyway.
i guess what im asking is, have any of you guys had this problem with this mouse?

the mouse

i recently got a logitech mx518 and it works great, very nice mouse. im sure this one will work and last me longer then 7 months. i still have my logitech dual optical, and all the buttons work fine. stupid MS.

Oh snap rofl. I just realized you're having the same damn problem that I am experiencing lol. I didn't read your entire post and I thought you meant it was just getting physically stiff and not just unable to left click always.

I concur. I have (2) brand new corded MS IE 3.0's in my closet for backup purposes.

Every once in awhile I'll have to click an extra time because it doesn't register a double-click right away, but mine's been pretty good so far.
