Throw it out, (you've only lost £7), Pay a bit more and buy yourself a tidy one. It isn't worth the hassle.

Return it if it is faulty.
Whether you paid £7 or £70 it should still work as advertised.

Could the battery need replacing?

Supernova

Yes, I'll definitely return and replace it.

Any recommendations?

I upgraded my parents (from a crappy simple rollerball mouse) to a Microsoft Wireless Intellmouse Explorer 2.0. It was so nice to use I just bought myself one too! Nice and comfy on the hand.

The one I got for my parents also had a fingerprint reader built in to the receiver.

i got 1 at a comp fair that didnt work, then i got 1 off ebay... a belkin 1... that worked then didnt for 5 mins then 'blinked' the cursor on tha screen. i think it was my laptop. didnt bother sorting it just used the touchpad instead.

Well, I paid £14 and got a Logitech LX5 which works much much better.

Cheers!

I also use a wireless trackball, never have to reset it. Only about £30
