Ok, I have a mighty mouse (the one with the scroll nipple), and for some reason I can only scroll upwards properly, scrolling down does not work or scrolls down slow and jerkily. Could anyone point me to the problem?
-
Dirt sometimes gets into the little wheel and causes it not to work. Been a know issue with the mighty mouses.

yeah, this is a common problem with mighty mouse.
apple's official cleaning guide:

my tip is that you wet the scroll ball with cleaning alcohol (methylated spirits). and turn it round and round.
i suggest you google: "mighty mouse scroll ball"
in any case, this problem will occur again. so either that you forget using the scroll wheel, get another mouse (i'm gonna suggest high-end logitech mouse), or get the new magic mouse. -
Agreed. Everyone I know has had this issue with their Apple Mouse. The new Magic Mouse is a lot better (and has much less Bluetooth input lag, to boot).

I thought it would probably have something to do with dust or dirt getting inside, thanks for the input guys.
