Make your scroll wheel stop clicking

kb1ghc · 08-30-2004, 05:29 AM

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR GAMING! BUT ... it makes web browsing very pleasant.

I heard that alot of "ratchetless" mice cost more money, when actually it's just the lack of a part.

If i could hear the clicking of the mice over the 2 turbofans, 6 tornados and 2 volcanos (and speakers) i might consider it

well it's not the noise, it's the feel that makes it so nice

Well, I like to have feedback when using the mouse or the keyboard...
BTW, I have a 15 year old keyboard with powerful clicks (even the neighbors can hear it at night).

I kept the clicking on my mouse,

but have you ever taken all the keys off that keyboard, and vacumed it out?

I usually wash my keyboard.
First take it apart, put all the components (without the electronic part) in water and add detergent. Then stir, rinse and dry...
