August 10th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - Tips by Jeff Gamet

So, how mighty does your mouse feel when its little pea ball gets stuck. Yeah, thatis what I thought. The good news is that itis 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. Donit press too hard - you donit want to damage your mouse.

Roll your mouse pea ball on a cloth to clean it.

Thatis it. Your Mighty Mouse should be back in action now.
