just trying to push it in without opening the mouse somewhat will not be enough. The new SteelSeries WoW mouse is wireless, but has a dock for battery charging and a wired option if your battery goes dead. You can try to repair it apparently, best you can do is google about that I guess. Really hurt when I found out about i, I love the mouse that much I bought another one and I am uber careful with the cable :) It takes things like picking up the mouse by the cable suddently or otherwise yanking on the cable but its a shame such a design flaw happened. SteelSeries, a global leader in the gaming peripherals and accessories market, today introduced the SteelSeries Sensei Wireless Gaming Mouse. Any time that gets pulled on it weakens the connection until eventually inside where the wires should make contact, they don't completely ! so at any time the signal can drop past the threshhold for electricity to get across the microscopic gap that has formed due to weakness in the cable housing design This happened to my precious Sensei and is a known problem with where the cable goes into the front of the mouse.
