For those of you, who like me, can occasionally be a little clumsy, I have found a blog post that should help you clean your Mighty Mouse so that it may resume it’s duties normally! I am proud to let you know that I have successfully repaired my mouse, although using a letter opener, as suggested on the blog, slightly damaged the plastic. I used a cotton bud and some alcohol to clean the dirty parts.

I later found an excellent video detailing how to fix a problem that is very common with Apple’s (not so) Mighty Mouse: the scroll wheel quickly tends to get clogged and stops scrolling properly.
