Miscrosft Optical Mouse 3000 - rubber sticky?

Hey guys,.

If the rubber on my optical mouse 3000 has become really sticky after a little over a year of occasional use.

Fortunately, I bought 2 at the time (1 for my laptop) and another for another computer that I end up using so I decided replace the sticky with a new one.

Well, it turns out, the new brand is slightly sticky as well.

Is there a way to remove this rigidity? I would like to ask for a replacement, but since has been more than a year, it is out of warranty.

Do I have other options?

Thanks in advance

The adhesive can usually be removed with solvent for nail polish (acetone)

  • Notebook optical mouse 3000 does not totally work with Windows 7

    laptop optical mouse 3000 not totally work as it is in win 7 64 bit, but very well under win xp.

    Hi, a problem with my laptop optical mouse 3000 with windows 7 64 bit.

    the problem is that I am not able to scroll in the yahoo mail Inbox and in the Favorites of google chrome, but others such as scrolling through site Internet is fine. Makes me kind of stay away from windows 7 and stick to windows xp.
    Another thing, it was that the experience with movement/pointer speed in windows 7 64 bit was totally different. experience with the speed of movement/pointer is at the time when I uninstall the driver and use the default windows HID-compliant driver.
    all this problem never encounter in windows xp.
    I doubt it could be the driver problem.
    I tried to reinstall windows, reinstall intellipoint, reinstalling a newer version of intellipoint (7.10.344.0), but it does not help.
    What should I do now? wait for a newer driver for notebook optical Mouse-mouse 3000?
    I hope someone could fix that.
    Thank you!

  • Notebook Optical Mouse 3000

    I wish the scroll key to send a double click when you press on, as did my wired mouse. I don't see this as an option. Any help?

    Hi William,.

    I understand that you need the double-click feature using the mouse scroll wheel.

    Follow these methods and check.

    Method 1: I suggest you to do the following to enable the feature.

    a. use of the mouse you want to configure, start IntelliPoint.
    (Click Start, point to all programs, click Microsoft mouseand then click Microsoft mouse.)

    b. in the list of the button wheel , set up to use the double-click.
    Save the changes.

    Reference: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-in/help/support/troubleshooting/mouse/mouse

    Method 2: If this does not help, reinstall the software from the link, you should be able to get the required functionality.

    I suggest you check out the link to uninstall the IntelliPoint software:

    Uninstall or change a program

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/uninstall-or-change-a-program

    To install the Intellipoint software, see the link:

    Hi faignard,

    Thanks for the reply. It is regrettable that uninstall the existing mouse device manager drivers did not help to solve the problem.

    I suggest that you go to the program and features under programs installed and check if there are any associated with IntelliPoint software or any software application related to the mouse installed. In the affirmative, please go ahead and uninstall them and then try to install the driver software IntelliPoint 8.2 in compatibility mode as stated in my previous post dated 22 December 2014.

  • Microsoft comfort optical mouse 3000

    Is it possible to open and clean the inside of this mouse? A drink was spilled on it and the left clicker sticks...

    Hi Izzy_dead,

    Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

    If you open the mouse, I'm not sure you'd be able to get the equipment working again.    If you open the mouse with a small screwdriver and use a q-tip with possibly a liquid cleaning on tiptoe, you won't might be able to get the mouse working again after the back together.  The mouse is an optical mouse and the chances are that the drink that spread on the mouse caused the sensor do fail or show signs of failure.  It might be the mouse is already a failure and cleanup would not solve the problem, it could try to clean the mouse would be the only option other then buy a different mouse.  The sensors are the question dispute you, it is the Commission circuit unlike ps2 mice who have been able to open and clean the dust easily of.

    Let us know if you would like more information.

  • AutoCAD LT 2007 and Microsoft Optical Mouse 3000 and pan

    I can't get the Pan function to work in this mouse in Autocad LT.

    In other mouse Pan is automatically set to the wheel button.

    I installed the software from the CD in accordance with the instructions, but there is no option for the Pan at all?

    If you normally press the wheel button, the screen scrolls to the right.

    If you press veeery strongly you can get the Pan (Pan = to get the hand so that you can move the drawing on the screen), but it is too heavy to work with.

  • MS Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 300 - no longer works

    I have a laptop with Vista as my current program.  I have a Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 since the first day Wirless.  The mouse was working very well!  I use computer a day and the wireless mouse no longer works.  Green light on the USB key is on, red light on the mouse is on.  I'm in the peripherals - mouse and it shows active.  I even remove the USB and it shows then it isn't here.  Here's my question - why the mouse will not talk to the USB port and works now?  I even went out and bought a different MS Mouse and it didn't work either.  All known manufacturing, programming, software between MS and Vista mouse problems?

    Perhaps Windows does not recognize the mouse as real human interface device. If you go into Device Manager, highlight unfamiliar material, choose Update driver and then manually point it on either

    C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\mouclass.sys
    C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\mouhid.sys

    ... did allow the mouse to install?

  • When I plug my opitcal microsoft wireless mobile mouse 3000, it flashes once then turns off

    As the title suggests, so whenever I plug my Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 in the port, the receiver flashes once quickly, and don't light up like its supposed to. The mouse has a new battery.  The mouse worked just a couple of days.  I got it since last Saturday.  It is used, so I don't have a warranty.  Anyone know why its doing this?  The mouse is turned on at all times if feels movement.  The battery is good and I used it this morning until it stopped working.  It would gradually stop working.  Now when I try to resynch to see if this is the problem the receiver flashes once and then no more.
