My left moust button keeps on sticking. I click it and it says down when I release. I have to pull it out, not all the way...just a little tug to make it unstick. It used to just happen every now and then and wasn't annoying enough for my to bother with, but in the past hour, it's been sticking every 10 clicks or so. I was thinking of using a paper clip to poke around under there but I don't want to damage my mouse. It's one of those optical ones with the red lughts coming out the bottom.

Optical mouse... like Alyssa said, you can't touch much without destroying it.

I would suggest trying to paperclip thing, and if that doesn't work, go out and buy a new one. There isn't all that much to loose.
