Hi all,
I've used up hundreds of mice since I'm working with computers, most of them because of malfunctioning microswitches.
The last mouse I purchased is just shaped ergonomically perfect for my relatively small hands.
I've noticed that the mouse sometimes won't follow proportionally to its movement, which is annoying when routing traces on a PCB design. I tried wiping the optics with a Q-tip and it seems to work, but limited to just a few hours.
Are the IR-transmitting diodes operated at or close to their maximum rated current? If so, that would explain the phenomenon.
That mouse doesn't emit the typically red light, but seems to be inactive due to the invisible IR-beam.
Regards
