The mouse on m16-034-15 is not reliable enough to use. The left button
in particular seems to respond randomly to presses, and only with
intense pressure and jiggling does it activate. The left button also
needs to be de-bounced, as it often sends multiple mouse clicks to the
X-Server, greatly confusing many application programs (and causing loss
of work!). The right button is flakey but works most of the time. The
mouse tracking is fine.
