Thanx for the tip Bill…I'm hoping it's just some hard to reach dirt on
one of the rollers inside the mouse. I tried cleaning it with a cotton
swab and some high-test alcohol, but using a brush is probably better. I
was considering just taking the whole thing apart to completely clean it
up.
My main worry was that the jitter is only in the upward direction…I'm
always suspicious of non-symmetrical problems.
How do you like using the RB2 track ball instead of a mouse? Is it as easy
to do things with, or do you end up contorting your hand to roll the ball
while holding down a menu button?
BTW – I have a file of that gives some sources for replacement mouse button
micro-switches. I think I may have gotten it from this forum someplace,
but if not I can always upload it here. Just let me know.
