Cleaning the mouse

The mouse contains a small ball that must roll smoothly for the mouse to work properly. You can keep this ball free of dirt and grease by using the mouse on a clean, lint-free surface and cleaning it occasionally.

You need a few cotton swabs and a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.

1Turn off your computer.

2Turn the mouse upside-down and turn the plastic ring on the bottom counterclockwise to disengage it.

If the mouse is locked, see the next section, “Locking and Unlocking the Mouse,” for instructions on how to unlock it.

3Turn the mouse right-side up with one hand and catch the ring and the ball with your other hand.

4Clean the three small rollers inside the mouse with a cotton swab moistened with water.

Rotate the rollers to clean all around them.
