It would work fine for a while and then switch to ptoducing a random number of button events for a given click. I could even see this if I was attempting to "drag and drop" something since the hand icon would litterally open and close even though the left button was being continuously held down. I would have to wait until it setlled into a "button down" state before dragging whatever it was. Even then it would sometimes randomly produce a "button up" event and the drag would end up someplace other than what I wanted. New mouse installed last night. Works great. A click is a click is a click.... It's some OEM brand I had never heard of but it was the only USB wired mouse that my local Best Buy had. I usually buy hardware at our local Micro Center but that is about 15 miles away and I couldn't see going that far just to save a couple of bucks and get their never heard of before brnad OEM mouse.
