I liked mine as well, but when you are repairing computers you need a mouse that works with common drivers, so I reluctantly gave them away and started buying handfuls of throw away mice. The worst ever was a Phillips mouse. One of the plastic clips that held the ball cover on broke off in the first hour of use. I would contact a supplier and buy one of each model they carried, and try them out in the shop. 90% of them wore out or broke within a month, and never made it to the list of items for sale. When i found ones I liked, and lasted 30 days or more I would buy more of them for stock. -- Michael A. Terrell Central Florida
