Mac Forum / General / Hardware / July 2009Cleaning the Mighty Mouse
I followed the instructions in this video and my Mighty Mouse (which I still hate) is working fine now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jet7488UoSE I suspect I'll have to clean it this way on a regular basis.

I've had a Mighty Mouse since they were first introduced. Most of the time (occasionally - maybe once a month or two) I have to clean it by holing the mouse upside down and rubbing the scroll ball vigorously against a clean, lint-free cloth. I've only had one single situation where that wasn't enough, and that's the only time I've ever had to take mine apart. SignatureSend responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

What is surprising is that Apple didn't fix the flaw to begin with. I've been using mice since 1985. I've been a full time computer professional for 20 years and have NEVER seen a mouse that required so much TLC to keep operational. I've had 4 of the MM variants. One Wireless variety that just quit working. Two wired varieties one that just gave up the left button entirely and the other just plain failed. The last one was a wired variety that I had given the upside down rub against a clean cloth over and over. The current Logitech I own has outlasted the 4 MM. To be fair, the older mice with rollerball tracking mechanisms did get dirty, but the manufacturers had the SENSE to make them SERVICEABLE. So those that say 'mine works fine and never needs cleaning' you might try using your gear 10+ hours M-F and the odd hour or two on the weekends and see how they hold up..

Single dimension rollers are easier to design big enough so that dirt isn't such a problem. Could the MM be designed with a comfortable bigger ball. Big enough to avoid the dirt problems? I expect so, but don't know. But I do know that Apple could make a better left-right mouse button sensing mechanism.

I do recognize that the proximity sensor used for right clicks sometimes gets things wrong. And I also recognize that using a physical scroll ball means that occasionally the rollers inside the scroll ball housing need to be cleared of debris. But these two problems don't result in the mouse being complete crap either. It's a very useful mouse for most situations (fast-paced FPS gaming being an exception), and works just fine most of the time for most of the people I know.

I notice in the video the guy says he used rubbing alcohol to clean the parts. I advise you not to use alcohol, since it can change the surface properties of rubber, causing some types of rubber to become sticky to the touch indefinitely, which will actually make the problem of dust even worse.

There is a much smarter way to do that. <http://www.brendanfenn.com/cleanmouse.html> In addition to that, i found that it is also easy to clean it with isopropyl flooding. For that you take sufficient isoprop-alcohol so that the mouse ball is really swimming. Than turn it head over and move the wheel over a clean tissue until it is nearly dry. After that you have to leave the mouse for a few hours or over night to dry complete.

I have studied chemistry. The only thing in alcohol that could harm any organic polymer is the Methylethylketon or Toluol in white spirits. In it is used only in Ethanol to denature it so that you won't drink it. There is nothing of it in isoproply-alcohol. So isoproply-alcohol is absolute save. Also not technical, but drinkable alcohol is save, but expensive because of the taxes.

'Meeses', when it doesn't refer to more than one Attorney General under Ronald The RayGun (shudder), means more than one of those very large brown things with long legs and large palmate antlers which like to munch grass in bogs.

To each his own. I suppose you may have a point. I haven't bothered to verify that your accounting of the history of the word is factual, because I just don't care all that much.

You know, like what happens when you put sugar in water. No *chemical* reaction occurs, but the sugar is definitely affected by the water. Even if the alcohol doesn't fully dissolve the substance, it could soften it or make it sticky. The point is that a chemical reaction isn't necessarily required in order for damage to occur. > Look here: > <http://www.edv-consulting-berlin.de/download/Isoprop.jpg> > Isopropyl-alcohol sold in a plastic bottle. All that proves is that there is at least one plastic that is not damaged by isopropyl alcohol. It doesn't prove that *no* plastic exists that isopropyl alcohol can damage. I'm willing to believe that *most* plastics are unaffected by it, but I think it would be unwise to assume that it can't possibly damage any kind of plastic or synthetic rubber.

You are talking about solving a crystalline substance in a polar fluid. In this case you have a kind of ionic form, interacting with with the H-Bridges of the water. I case of these polymer carbon we are talking about a-polare substances and you need a a-polar solver to dissolve. Alcohol is a very polar substance. In fact we have such a-polar substances in some kind of technical ETH-OH. They are mostly used to make it undrinkable. For example, aromatic hydrocarbon are very good a-polar dissolvers. Now, why do think they are used for making Ethanol undrinkable?

Thats because you never really analyzed the reason for what you did see. Since that time alcohol in your eyes is guilty, but thats to simple. Florian P.S.: I don't drink.

After cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol, the mouse ball was sticky. 2. Certain government studies (mentioned earlier in this thread) state that alcohol can have a detrimental affect on rubber. My actual life experience and the aforementioned studies disagree with some random internet nobody's opinion. Guess who *I* am more likely to believe?

The so-called "Mighty" mouse (bluetooth)I got with my Mac Pro I dumped after one month of struggling to have it make properly right or left clicks. Since more than one year I have it replaced by a small Logitech (V-100) intended for laptops. It has a short USB cord hooked into the Mac keyboard. The cost was in the order of 15 $. I have never been annoyed by the cord, it works fine for me, and most of all without any cleaning (or change of batteries) |
