[QUOTE="rwernst, post: 1062093, member: 160509"] First, the mouse works fine, ball and rollers clean and work properly, so no need to further clean/fix that. Unfortunately, cleaning carefully with cloth/cleaner isn't taking the grime off the outside. I need to use more cleaner than a damp cloth can hold to get it all off, including the cracks where the plastic parts go together, and to do that will take a lot of cleaner and rubbing. This will mean some of it will get inside, and while that's not a problem if I get it all out again, it creates the problem of how to get it all out again. Mouse is unusable without gloves at this point, it's really that grimy and sticky. Also, I have experience with opening things up to clean them out, so not afraid of it, but never done this type of mouse before, hence my starting the thread to get a tip on getting started. My research has shown that it's possible, and with many Mac items (not all.. :) if you know the "trick" of where to pry, things come apart without breaking anything. [/QUOTE]
