iMicro Cobra IM-COBZ2 USB Wired Optical Mouse (Black&Space Gray)

this was a nice, cheap mouse I found so I ordered it. I thought it would be a good buy and it worked fine for a few months. Then just recently it began to have problems where it just acts like it has been unplugged from the PC. I tried other USB ports (thinking it might be a bad port) and it still does it. I tried checking the cord for any problems and it seems that near where the cord meets the mouse is the issue. Internally it seems there is some kind of loose wire or something of that sort that is shorting it out when it is moved around even in the slightest. I would not recommend this mouse unless it is going to be a "throw away" mouse for a kid or something. It does not last long and it seems you definitely get what you pay for in this instance. *note* the mouse itself worked fine and was a simple plug and play besides the fact it messed up so quickly after buying it.

the sides are too slick to hold on to. cannot even slightly pick up mouse to move, it simply slips out of grasp. it feels like a super slick Teflon coating with greased fingers.

Heavy And Sluggish. The Connection Wire Reminds Me Of Electrical Cords Of The 40's And 50's. Feels Like Solid Wire, Not Braided Wire. I Can Visualize Failure Down The Road.
