Is the mouse sticking and you cannot get the cursor little arrow thing to move freely around the screen ?

The little wheel underneat can sometimes get dirty just needs a little clean. Or it coudl of worn out.

Usually it is the little ball thingy underneath which has collected dust and fluff.

If you do get a new one I would favour a cord rather than the wireless ones (Less to go wrong!) and the newer ones don't have a roller ball thingy they have a little red light (LED I think it's proper name) so there is nothing to collect dust and fluff

I've had this one for six years without a problem

The wirelesss ones can lose the signal and you sit there like a loony trying to wriggle it round to pick it up again.

We have the ones with wires and the little red lights they work well. Just plug them in to the back of the keyboard.

Thanks for telling me about that, not sure if we can get that tonight but I know we get the repeats (On a different channel) about a month latter so I'll look out for it

More important, you make sure you see it and then you'll know for sure what they are worth

ETA - PM me after and tell me what they valued them at - I would like to know.
