Mouse

[jvr]

A mouse for a computer is a pretty reliable piece of kit i would have thought but i've got one of those silver TVR Tuscan ones from Street Mouse.When i use the little wheel to scroll down it keeps wanting to go upwards.Do you think it might need a rebuild or is there a simple solution,any sugestions welcome.

Think the warranty will cough up? Sounds like wear and tear to me

[jvr]

Thats what i thought,but the warranty company says it only covers road use not competion use or surfing...

Hmmm sounds like you have one of the new fangled models with the Intel Pentium S6 processor in. Try one of the previous generation mice with the AMD Athelon RV8 chips, apparently their a lot more longer lasting

My red one works fine at all times althugh it does have a tendency to slide off to the right or the left depending on how it feels. People have also commented on that the headlights are too bright and that the blue tinge is a bit blinding

It's the stepper motor or it could be the giggling pin on the end of the laughing half shaft

Na sounds like the lambretta sensors, has the engine had a rebuild before you got it AJP and all that

What year is it as they may want to tax it ( MED )

[jvr]

I've rang my local expert and he said it is quite common,using the mouse before its properly warmed up causes stuttering and strange movements so it looks like a rebuild or perhaps i could chop it in for another.

I hear there's to be a lecture, where the designer of the rodent is going to tell us why it was not built as he intended...

Maybe you should join the NMC.
They have a great website, and are very helpful to new owners.

Standards are high:

"The mouse must be long on body with long clean head, not too fine or pointed at the nose, the eyes should be large, bold and prominent. The ears large and tulip shaped, free from creases, carried erect with plenty of width between them. The body should be long and slim, a trifle arched over the loin and racy in appearance; the tail, which must be free from kinks should come well out of the back and be thick at the root or set-on, gradually tapering like a whip lash to a fine end, the length being about equal to that of the mouse's body. Unless the variety standard states otherwise, the coat should be short perfectly smooth, glossy and sleek to the hand. The mouse should be perfectly tractable and free from any vice and not subject to fits or other similar ailments. A mouse with absence of whiskers, blind in one or both eyes, carrying external parasites, having a tumour, sore or patches of fur missing, suffering from any obvious disease or deformity or kinked tail shall be disqualified."
