I have successfully fixed my Chinese mouse so that it performs like a
Japanese one.  Recall that someone had said that his mouse pointer did
not accurately reflect mouse position changes (on his Chinese mouse).
I had a similar problem which I traced to the idle roller assembly being
loose.  Unfortunately, it is loose by design.  However, by stuffing
tissue paper into the spaces between the roller arm and the roller housing
I was able to get correct roller action.  My mouse is now even smoother
than my old Japanese one.

Alternate solution:  buy a mouse from another vendor...I don't think Atari
                     has figured out how to make these things yet.
