[CUBE] Optical Mouse failure

[Steve Portillo]

I just dealt with the same problem about a week ago. I didn't see it as 
being worth fixing, so I opted for a Kensington Wireless Studio Pro 
mouse, with 3 buttons and a scroll sensor. For 30 bucks more than an 
Apple mouse, this thing is WELL worth the cost. The programmable 
buttons and right click are indispensable, and it feels much more 
responsive than the Apple Pro ever did.

Peace,
Steve
