First the round ball stopped working and just now it's doing this thing where I can't even touch the top of my mouse without it constantly moving every window I have open. It's not suppose to do that spacing thing unless i press on the thing on the right and left side. I'm sure anyone else with a Mac understands what I'm talking about, and if not, tell me so I can try and explain better. I really need to get this fixed because it is driving me insane.
 
If you have a round ball on the bottom, you have an old mouse. First try cleaning the mouse. Take the bottom ring off the mouse and take the ball out, then clean the gunk off the rollers inside that the ball works against. finally, put it together.
If this doesn't work, go get an optical mouse. If your current mouse is a USB mouse, you can use virtually any USB optical mouse to replace it. There are some good ones out there for under $30. I use a Microsoft Optical Mouse with my G5. If you're using the very old-style mouse with the DB15 connector, you may have to go onto eBay to find a replacement.
