Then just cut the burr on the side of the shell where the button is and that fixes it. All that you have to do is unscrew a screw underneath the last plasic glide and the top shell slides off. Mine came this way and I was going to RMA but realized i'm smarter than that, and decided to fix it myself which proved easier than I thought. Sticky Button: As others have stated some mice come with sticky buttons causing the click to last longer or double click or whatever. Plastic glides and the LCD are gimmicks but I find the wieghts a very good addition to this mouse. It has a good solid feel and I can tell it will last a long time. I feel the thumb buttons are better located than other mice. I chose it because of size(largness) and all the buttons. I gave it a bit of research and chose this over the logitec models and also the razer models. Overall Review: I would definately buy this again. Red Led's under the mouse make it look cheap, in my opinion.
Also who needs the macro button? The one in front of the two thumb buttons.
