How often does your computer mouse quit on you?

This past week I have done major battles with my mouse. It started just around my birthday when I got a brand new laser type mouse. Very cool. Neat birthday gift. But, then it fell on the floor and started acting all strange. The mouse would lock up and not let me go from page to page. I put up with the inconvenience for an entire day. And, that was one very frustrating day. Eventually, I switched back to my old laser USB mouse. Not as nice, but way more reliable. It still freezes up on occasion, but not as often. Now my kid has adopted my birthday mouse for her computer. And, strangely enough, the mouse is working again. I am wondering if fate did not have a new mouse in store for me. So how long do you put up with cranky computer hardware before you buy a replacement?

Well I am still using my second mouth after my first mouth was lost while moving from one apartment to another three years ago. The mouse on the laptop is just a small red cap and it was very hard to get this second one. It was from an old laptop that was going to be sold from my computer friend. I was happy to get this one that has exactly the same brand with mine.

I use the mouse very often than using the key board. In spite of hard work I give for my mouse, it lasts for almost a year without troublle. Thnaks and have nice time.
