- Yup I know. the're about 1cm (1/4") and approximately the same size as
- the two 'pegs' that the mouse clips together on..hint...hint....
- They fit on these 'pegs' and the whole lot screws together again.

- If you can't understand this posting, email me and i'll tell you
- more. I think the springs are to absorb the impact of someone jumping
- on the mouse, but i'm not sure ;)
