TMO Quick Tip - Cleaning Your Mighty Mouse
by , 7:30 AM EDT, August 11th, 2006
So, how mighty does your mouse feel when its little pea ball gets stuck. Yeah, that's what I thought. The good news is that it's easy to get its omni-direction action back.
All you need is a clean, lint-free cloth. Place the cloth on a table, hold your Mighty Mouse upside down, and move your mouse in a circular motion with the ball against the cloth for about a minute. Don't press too hard - you don't want to damage your mouse.
 Roll your mouse pea ball on a cloth to clean it. |

That's it. Your Mighty Mouse should be back in action now.
