Yeah. I just plugged in the ps/2 mouse with the usb adaptor and there
are no
problems. I really didn't believe that the other mouse was wearing out, but this is
the proof.
If you're fond of the old one, and have less likable devices around, you
might try switch replacement. I've had to do that with my Marble F/X, since
nothing close to its perfection has ever been made since, and used ones are
insanely priced on eBay. You might be surprised to find switches from a $2
mouse fit just right and work the same as those from high priced models.
Before bothering trying to replace, you might want to hit the switches with
compressed gas and/or contact cleaner.
