Cleaning up Apple’s wireless Mighty Mouse – take two
Many of you probably saw my previous post about cleaning up Mighty Mouse here
After using my mouse for another 2 years I have found out that using this method may in fact become less and less effective (meaning I have to do it much more often that I used to). So I had to come up with something to solve this problem too. Now I’m using a modified method which is much more material involved :-)
I bought small bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol and I put one or two drops on the ball when mouse is still in upright position. then I use ‘Apple method’ of pushing down on the ball and turning it around to loosen up the dirt.
Then I continue with the above method using either white sheet of paper as before, or even better – clean microfiber cloth I got with my new pair of glasses recently. All that helps greatly to get the dirt off of the sensors.
After such treatment my mouse is working flawlessly for over a month now.
