What's to discuss?

Buy a new one,

Give the old one a decent burial,

Move on.

Why can't people understand what forum things go under?

And this is a stupid question anyways.  If the scroll wheel broke, you have no recourse but to buy a new one.

Dude, lighten up. I think the OP was just joshin' with us. That's why I didn't move it.

Sorry... haven't had my morning caffiene yet.  :(  I guess I just thought he was being ignorant. RoD posted in the wrong forum a few times already, but I know he's an idiot, so I kind of expect that sort of thing.  I was hoping bman would be a little better about it....

Maybe I'm taking this admin thing too seriously... I should just back off.

don't even need to spend that, here's what I've been using for over a year now: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=26-143-001&depa=0
my buddy did get one that had a bad fan...but you don't even need to use it if you don't want. For the money it can't be beat, comfy and 1200dpi in case you play games...

Work-safetiness could be debated.
