I'm starting to have a lot of problems with my mouse. It is your standard Compaq mouse with the little roller ball.
It has started doing random things --like the cursor will get stuck on the side of the screen or will only go up and down in the middle of the screen --and then suddenly it will work again --and then get stuck again.
I think I just really need a new mouse --I've had this one for 2 years and I think it's just on its last legs...
What kind of mouse do you guys recommend. I was thinking of a laser mouse instead of a roller ball one --but I am not sure what brand to buy...
Any suggestions?
My mouse is going crazy, crazy I tell you!

Have you tried cleaning it? Open up the bottom and scrape the gunk off of the little wheels you find under the ball. Or get a laser mouse. they're cheap now. And rad.

I have cleaned it many, many times --5 or 6 times tonight alone --I think it's just worn out.
Question: What is the difference between an optical and a laser mouse?
Also, what do you think about this mouse? I'm thinking about buying it. Or maybe this one?
I can't spend a lot of money on a mouse, but I want one that will work well (and doesn't have a little ball) and one that is not some boring black/white/gray color...

I'd recomend the Logitech LX3 Optical Mouse USB,PS/2 if you are looking for a basic 2 button mouse with a scroll. Its cheap and its by far the most well rounded mouse I have used in terms of movement.

nooottt... exactly
most optical mice use a sort of light detection system... laser mice use a true laser...
they are often labeled either way

I went to WalMart today and bought a Micro Innovations Optical Mouse. It works great and was only $10.
Thanks for your help, guys.

Glad you found a good one, if you didn't find anything I would have suggested going to newegg.com and looking for a cheap laser mouse. If you dont play games something more expensive wouldn't be required.
