I have been using the wireless mighty mouse for over a year. Recently my right click function tends to stop working after I use the mouse for 30 minutes of so. If I leave it along for awhile it will work OK for a short period and then the problem appears again. I have disassebled the mouse and cleaned it. I am not sure what parts (contacts) really make the right button operate. so I am stuck.

I completely agree with you. I was searching your forum on a way to clean the roller ball, even though I have already once before. Unfortunately, it looks like I’ll have to clean it again. I wish Apple has made the roller ball with a little more thorough testing – this is pretty unacceptable

I can relate to your frustration as I believed so firmly in Apple products that I purchased a Mighty Mouse online without testing one whatsoever. My problem (so far) is not the scroll bar but the right click. It responded well for the first week or two but now my costly wireless wonder is little more than a one click disappointment. I loaded “Steermouse” which actually did up the percentage of right-click success. But, alas, the condition has returned.
Has Apple come to any conclusion on what the problem is? Is there a recall inbound or anything of that sort? I feel a little irritated to think that I would have to mothball a product made by Apple or any company willing to charge as much money for as little performance.
