How to Clean Your Mighty Mouse

A le has released an updated technical su ort document on the proper way to clean your Mighty Mouse. As much as I like my Mighty Mouse, I do have to clean it way more often than I ever had to clean my other mice like the basic two-button/scrollwheel Logictech one that I've been using for years. The most a oying problem with the Mighty Mouse is that it seems to very rapidly pick up dirt, grease, and other undesirable crud from my mousing surface. I clean my desk at least once a week with alcohol wipes and elbow grease, so it's not overly dirty.

I agree with A le's document that the lint-free cloth is a good way to get fingerprints off your mouse. Sometimes I'll just use paper towels and some iKlear di lay cleaner which seems to do a pretty good job of cutting through the crud. I've also, on many occasio , had to "vigorously rub" the scrollwheel nub while holding the mouse u ide down to dislodge something that's causing the scrolling to not work properly.

A le's even posted a video tutorial on how to clean your Mighty Mouse.
