For the life of me I cant keep my mighty mouse from sticking when using the wheel. Anybody else run across this and is there a solution? Besides using another mouse.

how long have you had it?

Maybe you should try cleaning it.

Just rub it on your shirt in all directions. Works fine for me.

I've had the scroll ball decide not to work now and then-very rarely. It just took some cleaning, mostly in the form of rubbing the ball against something that wipes off the gunk. It's taken seconds for me, every (both) time.

Well I did a little searching and found out how to open the mouse open and clean it. Seems to be working better now but would have open the mouse each time it locks up.

I don't recommend opening the Mighty Mouse.

I run an alcohol wipe around on the ball when it sticks. Fixes it right up. No opening the mouse.
