    The left mouse button started to work only intermittently on my F1. Any advice for trouble shooting it? I did a search but the search function doesn't seem to work to well on this forum.

    The button seems to work better if pressed on the left side of the button but that is maybe 50% of the time. The pressing the right side of the left button only works 10% of the time right now. The degradation of the button's function has happened pretty quickly - within the past week or so its gone from working most of the time to not working most of the time.

    One post/thread I found talked about dirt and stuff getting under the keys and interfering with their function. The post also said the keys can be popped off for cleaning. Is the same true for the "mouse" buttons? I don't want to pop the left key off only to find that it doesn't and break it.

    Thanks in advance for your help!
