If the mouse not brand new, then it may be full of dust and dirt - 
assuming it has moving parts at all (i.e it's not a laser or led model) 
dismantling it and cleaning may help.

Unless the problem is dirt as above, I serious doubt you are going to 
learn anything (technical) - simply replacing the mouse will be the best 
solution. I guess the thing to learn is that some computer hardware is 
so poorly made that it is useless!
