I've had the same problem on logitech track balls. BTW, does anybody still make mini trackballs for laptops.

Logitech is also good. Logitech used to be good but in my recent experience I'd say they are putting too-cheap microswitches in them. I've had three mice (of different Logitech models) all start signalling double-clicks when a button is pressed once. Reviews on Amazon suggest lots of people have found the same. Before this I had no problems, but had bought several mice - one for each of a series of laptops and desktops. It's probably deliberate so that users have to buy new mice every few months. My most recent mouse - wireless, and used mainly in bed when it runs on top of the duvet or under it, on the sheet, with a laptop on an overbed table at most a couple of feet above it, is an Anker "vertical mouse". That's - so far - holding up well (and it's easier on the wrist too). I think one reason it's still ok is that its peculiar body shape means that it tends - if it falls off the bed - to roll (like a landing paratrooper) when it hits the floor, cushioning the shock. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
