But to answer your question: The shortcuts Ctrl-F1 etc. are preset to
switch to the desktops with the associated number. You can change the
settings if you right-click on the pager and select "Configure Virtual
Desktops…". Select the "Switching" tab and at the bottom you can set the
shortcuts. Well, that's how it works with 10.04, but of course things
have changed if you use 11.04. Then you right-click the pager and select
"Pager Settings". Select "Virtual Desktops" at the left and there you
find the "Switching" tab again.

When was the last time you cleaned out your mouse?
Mine has been getting cranky for a couple weeks so last night I opened
it up and chased all the dust bunnies out. I used a small, stiff, paint
brush to "sweep" it out then took a can of air and gave it a blow job.
I've been using this same one for about twelve or so years. Just clean
it out once in a while.
Of course mine is a ball mouse, actually a track ball [ but that's just
an upside down mouse ]. If it's an optical mouse you might have other
problems.
