new mouse, annoying clicking sound

[freedon]

bought another MS optical mouse (the white one with 1 side button on each side) and the left button (the one everyone uses) makes a lot of noise when clicking, like if it was an old mouse. the old one was also a MS optical mouse but didn't make that much of a noise, maybe becuase it was 2+ year old that mechanism got old

also bought a MS trackball optical for another pc, and doesn't make that annoyin noise, the difference of this MS optical to the old one is it's OEM

Take it back, shouldn't make any noise. Get a Logitech MX500/800 or a Microsoft Intellimouse, much more comfortable.

I have a Microsoft Intellieye Explorer 2.0 and I like my buttons much better than the newer 3.0 version. I bought the 3.0 just to try out the "faster tracking" and found the buttons too noisy. (click!, click!)

bought it at newegg

have never done an RMA before from newegg.. is there a fee for it? the mouse cost 21+6 S/H, don't want the rma do be 10 or so


if the fee is a noticable amout maybe i could sell it to a friend

if youre doing games.. turn up the volume.. just croozin the web put on some music.. you wont hear the mouse thus it wont bother you!
I got an elcheepo mouse once you know the kind you dont mind throwing up against the wall.. it too clicked drove me nuts till I just turned up the volume.

i could do that,, problem is, my computer is at my parent's office where i can't have noise

[gateways_rule]

Yeah...my Microsoft Intellimouse Optical is a little noisy when I'm doing intense clicking all the time. Logitech makes some very good mouses that don't make very much noise. You should check them out.

nah, just tell them it's busted. they'll give you a new one, no questions asked. you may have to pay the buck or two shipping.

or, you could call microsoft, and they'll send you a new one. you won't even have to send the old one back. their replacement policy is really good on stuff like that.

good idea

haven't called newegg nor MS...

found out the noise is from the mechanism when the buttom goes up, when you press it, it does a normall noise , any ideas?
cann't seem to open the mouse
