So, I took some paper and folded it up and squeezed it in on top of the batteries and then pressed down the cover over it to make it a tighter fit, and that TOTALLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM! \u00a0Yay! I can&#8217;t believe I tolerated this problem for years and just now found the solution.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been having this problem, now \u00a0you know the answer! \u00a0I did this with my mouse at my studio and it fixed it there too!<\/p>\n<p>Happy mouse clicking!<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Gourley<br \/>\nKGPhotoWorkshops<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This isn&#8217;t really about &#8220;photography&#8221; but a lot of photographers use Mac computers, so I thought I&#8217;d share this since it solves a MAJOR problem I was having with my Apple Magic Mouse (the original version).
