Hi John, Have you tried cleaning the Mighty Mouse? Even though it is only causing a problem with down scrolling, try this: Take a thick piece of paper on a table and roll the mouse button back and forth, up and down and side to side, to dislodge the gunk that collects after time. You should see a little black splotch of dirt stick to the paper after a few seconds of vigorous rubbing. It's just the natural skin oil and sweat and dust that collects after time.
