so i was another victim of the infamous stuck scroll ball, and tried many methods to clean it but wasn't 100% smooth
so i put it upside down and rubbed it very hard against a sheet of paper in a flat surface, that was STUPID as i destroyed the middle button which sits under the scroll ball.

I already put a request in the Neobay section but i think i will get something here faster.

Why don't you just buy a better mouse? The Mighty mouse sucks anyway! If you fix it, it probably wont take long before it breaks again rolleyes.gif

I have several unusable MM's. None of them are bluetooth though.

it doesn't matter, all i need actually is the roller ball assembly.

Try dipping a small cloth in a little bit of rubbing alcohol and rolling it over the ball repeatedly for a few minutes, making sure to apply pressure as you roll the ball around. That fixes my Mighty Mouse for about a month before it starts acting up again.

that would have helped before i destroyed the middle button under the rollerball, now the rollerball is sitting lower inside the mouse LOL

I have one, but you're gonna have to pay.

2899 USD transfered to my ESCROW account, and an additional 59875 USD through money transfer to Nigeria for a scam my family shipping costs.
