Mighty Mouse function loss

Kipu2021 · 10-21-2006, 03:35 AM

Hey,
I was fixing an error with the scroll ball by means of q-tip and rubbing alcohol, and after it dried, I was content with the way it scrolled, as if it was new out of the box.

However, I lost two very important features in the process: Right-Clicking, and Scroll-Ball Clicking. Will I have to buy a whole new Mighty Mouse to remedy these issues, or is there some technique I can use to fix it?

All other functionality remains, side-squeezing, 360 Scrolling, and sadly, thats all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for wasting your time, but I fixed it by going into SysPrefs, switching the Primary and Secondary, and back, and my functionality returned. Huzzah!

You see, I broke my right wrist, and it was really hard to use the mouse with that hand, so I adapted and used it in my left hand, and was saddened by the fact that I couldn't use right-click anymore, but have yet to solve the "Scroll-Ball-CLick" issue.
