Very strange...
My computer mouse is suddenly not working well.
It can still work but it does not move smoothly and sometimes it only moves half of the way.
It was working well and I don't know why it became like this.
It is a logitech optical usb mouse.
Used for quite a number of years... come to think of it, around 7 years.
The only thing that happened to it that day was, I used it on another computer.
I usually use it with my Mac.
That day, I unplugged it from Mac and used it on my sister's PC in the early morning.
Then I unplugged from PC and plugged back into my Mac.
It worked fine on both computers and also worked fine when plugged back to Mac.
But half a day later, in the late afternoon, it suddenly became cranky like this.
This was yesterday and it has been cranky till now.
Also, another thing that happened but there isn't really a link is, it seemed to become cranky shortly after i took out a new mobile phone and used the phone.
Is it possible that this new mobile phone emits some strange radiation that spoilt something from the mouse.
I think very unlikely but this is the only thing that happened before it started becoming cranky.
Or maybe just a coincidence.
Maybe my good ol mouse has finally reached the end of its life? :cry:
Anyway, has this kind of thing ever happened to you?
What can I do to fix it?
