If it's a mechanical mouse, like the My-T Mouse, sometimes a contact pin will
get bent or move from where it should be. Simply take it apart and bend all
the pins to touch the metal lines, not the metal disc, and it should work OK
then. If it's an original Commodore mouse, if all the holes are clean in the
inside wheels, the only thing I can guess is something is wrong
electronically.
Joysticks can easily get worn out too (like Atari & Commodore models). I
suggest the Wico Boss, which will not ware out and if it does it takes 5
seconds to take it apart and bend the metal tabs back.
(I've had my Wico Boss' for about 4 years now and no problem, an Atari or
Commodore stick lasts about 2 or 3 months the way my brother and his friends
come over and use my Amiga)
