Cleaning your mouse. 2007-09-18 21:31:00 Reply

I almost destroyed my mouse earlier, so I shall write this informative guide.
If your mouse is being a little bitch then I suggest following these instructions.

Get some alcohol and 3 q-tips.
Open the bottom of your mouse and take the little ball out.
Dip a q-tip into the alcohol. Gently swab the whole ball down.
You can throw the q-tip you just used away now.
Keep that bottom part of your mouse open.
Take the second q-tip and swab the little rubber rollers inside of it.
You will notice all kinds of dust and stuff on them.
Once the q-tip you are using becomes to dirty, use the next one.
If you just can't get something off, pick at it with your fingernail.
Try out your mouse now. Should be working good.
If not, try cleaning your mousepad with a vacuum hose.
If the part that you use to open your mouse is broken, use scotch tape.

Many people probably already know this, but it still might help a few others.

You just can play any RTS or FPS with the ball, go for the optical.

Laser mouses > optical for gaming. Also, optical mouses get more hair under there and it's fucking annoying! Moves on its own.


I dont have a signature, stop bugging me.
