020- My mouse feels very bumpy. Everyone says it needs
cleaning but when I look inside there is just a little
dust and the rubber treads on the rollers look okay. So,
how am I supposed to get my mouse any cleaner?
It does sound like you have a gunked-up mouse. Rollers are whitish plastic,
black plastic, or metal-- they do not have treads. The "tread" is gunk.
It is best to clean a mouse with the computer OFF. The main reason is that,
otherwise, it's hard to avoid unintended clicking on stuff that could cause
problems. There is no need to disconnect the mouse unless you want to move to a
better work area for the cleaning.
First, get together a few supplies and tools:
A wooden desoldering stylus or flat-tipped plastic TV technician's tool is handy
for dislodging gunk. (Probably, a small jeweler's screwdriver is okay. However,
you do not want to scratch a roller.)
Small skinny long-nosed pliers are good for picking out globs of gunk and dust.
Windex or some relatively safe spray cleaner.
Paper towels and a cotton swab.
To open the mouse use fingernails to rotate the panel insert around the
ball opening on the bottom. The panel and ball should come out. Spritz the ball
and panel with cleaner (or put them in a glass with soap and water). Wipe dry.
Dampen a paper towel with cleaner and wipe the outside case. With a
cleaner-dampened paper towel, clean the cord for at least a foot or so near the
mouse.
Look inside the mouse. You may see globs of dust and gunk. Remove these--
pick them out-- as best you can.
Inside, there should be 3-4 rollers. If it's been a month or more since the
last cleaning each will probably look like it has a dark gray rubber tread. Use
the desoldering stylus, etc. or a fingernail to dislodge gunk on each roller.
