I noticed that my mouse wheel when scrolling up would sometimes scroll down instead (and vice versa). I figured it’s probably because there is some dirt and grime inside the mouse wheel casing that’s somehow interfering with the sensor.

How can I clean it without taking the mouse apart? I guess I could fill it with some isopropyl alcohol and wait a bit to shake it out or something but I don’t know how well that would work and I don’t want to make it worse obviously.

Does anyone have a better idea maybe? It’s a Logitech G703 Lightspeed

    I knew a guy in highschool that liked to steal the balls from the mice as a practical joke. he wasn’t very creative in his practical jokes.

    They thought they solved the problem when they switched from apple’s hockey pucks to the optical twinkies.

    Apparently he was clever enough. electrical tape.
