Mouse is sketchy

My Magic Mouse won't work on mouse pads or on my wooden desk top in certain areas. It's hard to move around.

I called support & all I had to do was clean that darn little opening on the bottom! First with a Q-tip then with a Blast Away can!

I suspect it's dying, try any other Mouse.
