That's ok mate in fact the micro switches inside some mice are very small indeed and it amazes me how long they do last given the hidings they get.ICit2lol - if I knew you were prepared to go to all that trouble for me, I'd have mentioned the 'combo' fact. I appreciate your efforts though - many thanks. I'd already loaded the newer software but, deep down, knew it wouldn't help as I've happily been using the older version for years.
Must be a case of wear and tear (although the mouse looks fine...). Thanks for the tips, you and Ranger4 - I've just ordered the M570 from Amazon as it has excellent reviews. £24, less than half what Tesco are asking. I don't 'game' so specialist mice aren't a necessity.
Thanks again.
See the pic in red are the switches and I have seen much smaller than these and the yellow circle is the scroll wheel sensor fitting.
