I can do science, me. Anyway, nothing a tiny screw driver and some fiddling couldn't fix and I'm equipped with all of that alright. I suspect the wire had a bit of a breakage where it entered the housing of the mouse, so wider movement ended up with my computer telling me my mouse was disconnected (it being in an USB port). Not helpful, especially playing that airplane flight game, where dogfighting happens. Opened it up, noticed that there's some room inside and my wire (cord?) is pretty long, so I decided to guide the wire inside along a longer loop, so I lost about 2-3 cm, the new bit of wire went into the clamping bit on exiting the mouse and after closing it up and reconnecting it... bingo, functions as before and no more disconnecting halfway through a movement. Granted, the first time round I nudged the looped wire up against the bit where the scroll wheel goes, making it very hard to scroll indeed. Rectified that too. Very pleased with myself.

Yes he is. I'm very pleased too that I caught myself such a clever boyfriend.

That is a very common fault. I have fixed that fault more often than anything else (ignoring the filthy rollers problem with ball mice). My mouse has no cable so I don't get that problem. It's also not a ball or optical mouse, so it works accurately no matter how filthy it gets. All that and no batteries, either. Yay!
