Spit saved my mighty mouse!

[sourceninja]

So the scroll ball on my mouse broke after a few months of use. It would scroll up but not down. You could feel that it was not catching on anything. I just realized how to fix it. I licked my finger then ran the ball up and down and repeated a few times.

Mouse fixed.


Anyways, any suggestions on a new mouse (prefer bluetooth) that won't break after 6 months?

So this works because the spit does what?

Lubricates the super cheap, easy to break, imprecise mechanism? God I hate the mighty mouse.

The main reason why I like the Mighty Mouse was the 360 degree scroll ball, but then I found the shortcut where you can hold SHIFT and then scroll and it goes sideways. After that I switched back to my MX518 and couldn't be happier.

I got this one:

Targus Bluetooth Laser Mouse for Mac

It's nice having buttons again. You have to install their software to make the side buttons work, which is kind of a drag.
