[QUOTE="Dustball, post: 1625260, member: 320445"] Beat me to it! In the old days a mouse's rubber ball controlled the cursor and cleaning the "dust" ball required a wet alcohol Q-tip cleaning that worked every time. Now comes the future and infra-red - hallelujah - however, the metal contacts for battery powered wireless mice can get lost in our advanced logic modes. It's probably a good practice to never touch the metal contacts on batteries or objects into which they are being inserted. Just imagine the damage spraying Pam into an NSA server would do? Example: Anyone who has ever changed out a halogen light bulb with bare fingers knows how quickly that bulb fails. The imperceptible little oil from fingers creates a "sticky" spot for smoke, dust, grease etc.. Persnickety dirt sensitive electronics demand sterile lines of transmission. Cleaning contacts, bleeding out all traces of power and a ride in a cold fridge for a fix is man's superiority over technology, I reckon. [/QUOTE]
