Yeah, I've got one of these in a drawer. The mouse pad is worn out though.
I once tried to print a new one, using my BJC250 - and the mouse totally
ignored the printout! (Someone was saying something about black sometimes
reflecting infra-red: case in point?)
Anyway, I took it down to the local print works and had a bromide made from
it, which gave a couple of years' good service.

I had problems with the buttons on mine too - but it was actually due to
breaks in the cable. I think there's a hack on Aminet for re-cabling one
of these mice.

I probably risk a dogpiling for daring to utter such heresy - but have you
looked at the Microsoft IntelliEye?
