Oh, thanks for that. I know now that I probably should not get a wireless keyboard because I have to be able to type fast for my job.
I believe the outfit that makes the one I ordered has a wireless version. I'll try to send you a link by PM.....

I hear you. I tried a couple of the 2.4ghz wireless mice and they didn't last very long, only a few months, but then I tried bluetooth mice and have been using one at home for over 2 years and one at work for over a year with no problems with either so far. Knock on wood!If you buy a quality product it can work even two years with two AAA batteries. I had a Logitech that could.
Mine has an 18-month battery guarantee, so I don't know what in the hell HE is talking about. He's probably never even had a wireless mouse before and has no idea what he's talking about.
Fortunately for me, I have several wired mice around the house so that is what I will use. It is regretful that the world has moved to wireless everything, but I am old school and will continue to resist the use of wireless devices. They are not what they claim to be.
Why is it regretful? Who wants all of those wires all over the place? Not me. Maybe you just don't like change?
I can embrace change if the new item lasts longer than a farting spell.
I bought one bluetooth mouse, a Dell, at a flea market for $2.98, I figured at that price it couldn't be any worse then the Logitech 2.4ghz ones I tried, which weren't cheap. It is the one I've been using at home for over 2 years, so I think I got my money's worth. Because of my success with that, I got a used HP from Ebay for $7.44 with shipping to use at work.I hear you.

I bought some cheap ones. Maybe I should invest in the $100 ones. Fat chance of that. As long as I can get the wired ones, I'm wired.

UPDATE DAY 3: My mouse is back to full and robust health. Twisting the wire in his nose to defeat the short was the cure.....it's almost unreal how well it's working and looking back, how long I put up with it acting up. My computing experience is carefree again. My advice for anybody reading this with mouse issues is to simply take it apart and look at it...if it's acquired as much crud as my did over 7 years, simply clean it up. Just be careful....look at it before you go to work on it so you remember how it goes back together.....I know one guy who takes things apart inside a clear plastic bag so flying parts can't escape.

I have a M$ wireless mouse I picked up on Amazon (cheap) three years ago that works fine. My only complaint is if I don't turn it off every evening it will drain the battery in a couple of weeks.
I doubt that was a short, but more like the circuit opening and not allowing electrons to flow normally. If you have to wiggle a wire, then it's time to either fix the recurring problem, or throw it away in your nearest trash can.
My Best Buy has a good stock of them....my next caper is speakers....I have one working and one not...the geek squad guy said that tells him the driver is good but there's a capacitor shot in the bad speaker...they have what I need for around $15...the set I have (Harmon Kardon) I got with my W98 computer in 1999....not bad.....15 years.
