Speaking of ill mice, I have a mouse which doesn't like to move to the left.
When I opened it up, I found that one of the roller bars inside the mouse has
found itself some slack, and as a result sometimes doesn't contact the ball.

Questions:

(1) Can I do something to fix this?  I didn't see anything off-hand, but I
didn't take the whole mouse apart, either.

(2) If not, what would people recommend as a replacement?  I've been eyeing
the MSC A+ optical mouse to avoid this particular problem in the future, but
I'm open to suggestions.  (Just don't suggest a joystick or a trackball.)

Thanks in advance,

++Brandon
