- sevensor 8y agoIt was pretty bad at university computer labs. I was forever picking lint out of those mice and scraping gunk off the rollers.
- Johnny555 8y agoCleaning the ball was easy - cleaning the rollers inside often took scraping them off with a q-tip or something since the gunk would build up right where it tracked the mouse ball, a partial cleaning was worse than no cleaning at all since the mouse would skip. I never had much luck with those velcro mouse cleaning kits, I'd still end up scraping the rollers.
