Okay, been using the same reliable old mouse since I got my computer in 2005. And just today, I'm scrolling with it, and away goes the resistant clicking sound, and instantly it stops reacting to it. Figured out how to take the mouse apart and cleaned it out inside, all manner of hair in it, along with some earwax-like gunk along the wheel itself and it's parts. I got rid of hair that wound itself around the spinning parts, and I'm sure the mouse on the whole moves much better than before, but for the life of me I can't get whatever gear causes the clicking to start back up.
Anyone know how mouses work well enough to fix this? I don't want to get a new one unless there's nothing else I can do.
