Appalling, simply appalling. Anyone with half a mind knows that doesn’t work. :roll:
quite frankly, I was thinking more along the lines of a mouse ball being something akin to a fur ball. And I wondered why anyone would want to clean it
How many mice does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Sorry, wrong thread…
I used a device for cleaning the mouse guts that has a velcro ball on a velcro pad. Take the rubber ball out of the mouse, put a bit of “cleaning fluid” (alcohol) on the velcro ball, place the mouse over the velcro ball on the pad and roll it around. It works great, even on the crud that builds up hard on the skinny rollers on older mice. I used it for a long time before I finally got an optical mouse.
If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Units). Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.
Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop off method. Domestic balls are replaced by using the twist off method. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately.
It is recommended that each person have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer missing his balls should contact the local personnel in charge of removing and replacing these necessary items.
Please keep in mind that a customer without properly working balls is an unhappy customer.
Now, lookee here, you pedantic little point killer. You git back in the choir where you b’long and quit botherin’ those nice folks who are just now gittin’ out their foldin’ money and passin it up to the lord.
Where was I before the youngun here so rudely interupted? Oh yeah –
Let us pray with Zarathustra.
Let us pray just like we use to.
I’m a Zarathustra booster,
And that’s good enough for me.
Gimme that old time religion.
Gimme that old time religion.
Gimme that old time religion.
And it’s good enough for me.
