Scroll wheels.  So you can scroll without having to click arrows or drag the scrollbar.

I use Microsoft's Intellimice, so I poked around on their website and came up with this, if you've never seen one (it's the thing in the middle, between the two buttons):

Or, if you're just joking around, disregard this post. =P

I agree, they're about $10 and it will save you the trouble of trying to fix your own then possible screwing it up anyways.

Buying a new optical mouse with scroll wheel... or attempting to fix the squeak.  Ill for the attempt first, and the mouse wheel comment was sarcasm as to an actuall mouse wheel that a pet rodent would use if you owned one, i dont but...suprised that went over everyones head.
