Question about Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse
Mouse has been in use since 06-01-06. The left click button will at times not respond. The batteries are good. Tapping the moouse flat on a table surface makes it work for 5 or 6 more clicks. It seems that the contact points inside the unit are needing cleaned. How does this particular unit disassemble for cleaning?
Hi RPM GUY, I have a couple of these too but what you?re describing is just the button wearing out from lots of use. Since it?s less than one year old it probably still under warranty, taking it apart would definitely void it. I would contact Microsoft hardware support and try for a warranty replacement. If you want to go ahead anyway remove the 2x batteries and you will see a screw inbetween. Remove it and the bottom half will come appart. Let us know if you have any other questions and please don?t forget to rate the post.

Hello naughtyitlbo, to make the "Touchpad respond correctly. Do the following:
Click on the "Start Button." 
Next, in the (right area) click on the "Control Panel."
Choose the "Mouse 
in the Hardware and Sound category."
In the "Mouse Properties {Window} you should 'see; "below" the [Button configuration], 
Radio Buttons, [*Right-handed / *Left-handed]. Choose the function you want. You can also make at this time 'changes to the Speed. Try it out a few times until you are satisfied with the movement.
You can always go back and change some of the other different "Functions" available.
I suggest, click on the "Device Setting" button, 
once the window open, click on the "Setting" button just below."
Try out some of the "items listed:"
Tapping, Virtual Scrolling... "You must click on the "Apply / OK" buttons when finished."
