Computer geeks- Help me with my wireless mouse problems please!

[Wcross]

I have a Microsoft wireless optical mouse 2.0 & it is acting funny. My cat swatted it onto the floor the other day and it hasn't acted right since. It works fine sometimes & then it will delay when I move it around the screen.
I have cleaned the lens, I have replaced the battery, I have reset the channel, I have reinstalled the software & unplugged the usb port & nothing has helped. Do I need to buy a new one? If I do, it is coming out of Flea Taxi's catnip budget!!!! (just kidding, he was just being a cat).

1. My guess is that you'll have to buy a new one...

...Without looking at it, my guess is that the lens is slightly out of whack. My son did the same thing to mine and it would do the jitter-bug across my screen every 5 minutes. Optical mice are cheap though. 15 bucks at your local computer store.

3. It took a good hit when it was swatted off the desk.

It probably has been dropped too many times. I've had it for three or four years now, buying a new one is my only option it would seem. I might get one of those "razor" brand air mouses, it doesn't need to be on any surface to work.

2. is this the same cat that puked on the iPod?

Man, it's time for lockdown. The kitties are taking over the world.

4. Nope, he's a good boy.

He just likes to swipe at things I leave out. He never pukes on anything other than the floor.
