    Its a long shot but I thought I better ask.

    My mouse has completely broken and I don't have spare one lying around. I'm in Galway City, are there any shops open this late that sell computer mice (Its 10:20pm now) in Galway City?

    Tesco is pretty far away, are there any 24 hour shops closer to the city centre that sell mice?

    I do think Tesco is your only hope, but I don't think their section that sells computer stuff is open as long as the grocery section

    In the 24hrs Tesco in Headford Road, The non-food section is a separate unit, which closed at 18:00hrs today.

    Not sure if the main store carries mice.

    Tesco is only a 5 minute walk from Shop street, so not that far from City centre.

    Your only hope is that a late night net cafe might sell them.

    I didn't see this til 11:30pm, but if I'd seen it earlier I'd have suggested trying the internet cafe on Dominic St, across the road from the Galway Taxis office.

    How badly do you need it? I'll sell you mine for €99.99 boards.ie discount.

    Also you could go to one of the internet cafés and ask to buy one, I'm sure they'd have spares.

    I presume it's for a desktop or you'd just be using the trackpad. If you bring up the Start menu and type "mouse works" you can toggle an option which allows you to move the cursor using your numpad.
