^ ditto. you can fault MS for several things, granted. but their optical mice are the best i've ever used for either platform.

just put down a damp cloth on your table and rub mr mighty mouse wheel up and down vigorously... dry and you should be good.

You have to clean the ball every once and a while.
Here's how to do it.
Get a piece of thin plastic (I use a Metrocard). Cut a long triangle (about 2 inches long, point on one end, and about 1cm on the other). Push the pointy end under the ball and spin the plastic around the ball.
It will take a couple of spins, but will eventually loosen up the dust under the ball.

probably clogged the mouse up with hand lotion or lube, stop fapping so much...

I find rolling the ball on a sheet of paper seems to work wonders...

If you do the above, you'll have 3 functional mighty mice

lighter fluid works pretty well.

This is the trouble when apple feel the need to simply reinvent everything just to be different. Wouldn't surprise me if they came out with a square wheel. You'd all fucking buy it too.
I do like their keyboards though.
- pff a well maintained mighty mouse craps on a simple scroll wheelhans_glib
- yea the mac scroll wheel when working is miles betterblackspade
- yes i love scrolling my pages 40 pixels at a timewrong

I tried the fix as above, it worked a few times but the mouse eventually fucked up. They look great but have shite functionality. Never going to buy one of those things again.
