Ughh... my 4th MS Intellimouse died. Think they'll get suspicious if I RMA it?

Ugh, yes I've had that problem as well, it was the worse with the Intellimouse Optical, I had to keep the wheel button down and grind it in exercise to get it to the point it's at today. When I first had it, clicking the middle button (wheel) was the most common problem when I was just trying to scroll. I'm surprised you're having this problem with the Intellimouse 3.0 though, it's got the loosest restrained wheel I've ever used, pretty much like the old logitech non-optical wheel mice (only the wheel on my logitech 1st-gen optical is freer and that's because it's no longer restrained by a spring :D)

Heh, if people heard these mice-rants they'd stop wondering why I'm such a keyboard-lover.

No, you're not abusing their procedure, cause their mice suck. My MS mouse died within a year so I got a MX700 :D
