My trusty Dell mouse gave up the ghost recently and I replaced it with a Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000.
Lovely mouse but with one problem I can't seem to fix.
The middle button click that I use constantly to open new tabs in Firefox works only occasionally.
I exchanged the mouse thinking it faulty but the problem persists.
Has anyone encountered this before and found a fix?
The OS is Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.
edit-
I have returned the item as not fit for purpose.
Googling the mouse, it seems a common problem with the wheel (button 2) not registering a click event, the 'angle' of the force applied being quite critical.
I would not recommend this mouse for use with Ubuntu.
