Cleaning wireless MightyMouse

[olmogh]

Worked fine for me!!!! after 2 months without scroll-up it is now working again!!! hahahaha +1!!

[ancheyta]

Thanks!! Woks wondefull

You are the master man!!

[electricpapaerlazer]

my mouse is scrolling again like it just came out of the box, after trying all kinds of other dry AND wet methods. yours was the best. thanks!

[ddw333]

I've had my Mighty Mouse for several years and it has done this a few times (not scrolling up) and I have fixed it a couple ways including an alcohol dampened cloth and the method in this video just now for the first time. I did it for about a good minute and with firm pressure and out came a significant amount of lint. I don't think one would have to do this so often as to worry about the rubber coming off the wheel. Maybe wash your hands more:) But this does work well!

[facepalmer1]

this works about 5 times.

then the rubber starts coming off the ball regarless of how much pressure you put on the ball. Why dont you just buy a real mouse? instead of the shitty apple mouse's that are really stupid and bad.

[imagnasn]

pretty sweet, totally work!

[sahatchai]

It works man. Thank you very much.

[Barry3443]

Wow. I can now scroll left again for the first time in 6 months.

[Anauel]

Amazing! THANK YOU!

[pietro1961]

simple ideas are the best!! Worked right away!

[shinai79]

thx a lot!!!!

[gstylianopoulos]

THNKS A LOT!!!!!!

works great for me too!!

I tried cleaning it with a piece of paper putting it inside the

tiny spece it leaves whilst pressing the ball.

But after some clean-ups I couldn't meke it work.

I was ready to open it but hopefully I saw your video just

before doing.

Guys. IT REALLY WORKS!!!

TRY IT YOURSELVES!!

[HayleyPekarek]

no way! i have been wanting to ditch this mouse for MONTHS!!! it works again~ thank you so so so so so much!!

[imabamf]

HAHA AWESOME!

just worked. THANKS!

[tommythegunn]

I dabbed a little White Spirit on the paper too.

[gbluescreen]

Very nice!!! it worked right of way.... you can see the paper picking up the dirt from the ball..... i was about to break it open or soak it in water..... if i didn't see this... haha

[henryshtang]

Wonderful!!!!! it works for me

luckily I see this, otherwise I have sent my mouse back to apple

[jjbachelor]

Wow... I'm honestly stunned this worked, but it did! Kudos!

[krautman65]

Sir, you rock! Worked like a charm.

[jeremiahlburns]

Fantastic. Love my iMac, and I'm no fanboy as I've been a Windows user for nearly 20 years. But even I'll admit the Apple Mighty Mouse scroll ball blows.

Thank you so much for this simple solution, as Apple's own solution was extremely lacking in results.

[Snadoozle]

OMG YES my mouse is back in action!! Thanks so much!!

[hackdan]

Oh my God works perfectly but sadly I was desamble it me before saw this video now is break in the bottom ouch! :( :( but still working. thanks!

[NYCboy1966]

YES! Awesome solution that I never thought of. Simple and very effective! Thanks!

[rainywindow]

This worked magically! Thanks a lot ! BTW, I used a sheet of paper tower and not much pressure. I think that this works better and safer.

[drogerson2]

this fucked up my mouse completely, and i had to get a new mouse, it works once or twice then it starts rubbing the rubber off the ball

[Korandel]

Apparently you were using way too much force. I'm cleaning my mouse this way for almost 2 years now and no problem with the ball so far.

[fradubio]

Awesome! So simple and it works!

[geraldmarald]

HOLY SHIT!!! Can I please send you like a $1000!!!!

[tcpecore]

IT WORKS!!!!  You rock.

[jumplover]

Holy Cow! I really did not think this would work. I used to be able to clean it by rolling it upside down on a lint free cloth soaked in alcohol... that stopped working a while back. I never thought this wold work, but it did... perfectly. My mouse hasn't been this lively in months! One thing though... I kept lookiong for little pieces of dirt on the paper and only saw a few microscopic ones. Then I turned the mouse back over and there was a bunch of stuff stuck to the top with static elec.

[rooneye]

Be careful thats how I used to clean mine and now my scroll button (not the wheel) doesnt work, you know the button you use to bring up dashboard. This mouse is so annoying.

[Silver00GT]

Dude, you fucking rock. This is fantastic!

[NatHistFilm2008]

Wow, I also was going to get the knife out until I saw this. nice simple fix. Thanks!

[asirack]

WOW! Works like a charm! Thanks for this :)

[spooky9394]

omg....it works

I tried everything trying to clean this damm little mouse

[stangkillin99ss]

worked like a charm!

[dandalo]

It's a live !!!!

unbelievable !!!!

[MadBryan]

I was very skeptical, but it did indeed work. So simple!

[mradig17]

works great!!!

[suleimankhan]

works a freakkin charm!

[rinnin]

And what about all the hairs and lint that get caught around the rollers. This method will not work for that.

[arar241]

Great Idea It really did work with me, I was ready to open up my mouse using a knife to clean up the mouse but with this i did not need to do so

[rcantuc]

wow!! I was very skeptical about this method! I was just about to knife my mouse following the instructions of some blogs... and the water and wet kitchen roll didn't worked for me... but this method really did the job!!! thanks!

[chavezravine1433]

Compressed air works for me.

[Torobillion]

thanks it works my had the problem where it dosent want to go up and i search on youtube i fount you hey great vid by the way it works some guy said get a peice of paper with water oh hell no not on my mighty mouse by the way thanks again it worked

[nardroc]

Awesome! Good as new after a just a few seconds work, thanks!

[dustmundo]

Apple needs to fix their jacked up mouse. 90% of the complaints I have with my Mac is the stinkin mouse. I mean come on Steve Jobs.  WTF?

[squaredade]

THANK YOU! my scroll ball now is back to normal!!!

Apple should post this on the cleaning guide!

[DeadFredVideo]

Why does everyone do it this way? It's takes a painfully long time and doesn't work that well xD

It's better to just get a bit of wet kitchen roll wipe the ball over a few times and dry on some dry kitchen roll, done in like 30 seconds and more effective :)

[Korandel]

Because not everyone likes to put water inside the mouse? Although I can see advantages of your solution, I wouldn't do it this way myself. I've seen to many electronic devices smoked just by dusting them with wet towel.

[laspalmas06]

at the beggining it was not working. but After 5min of non stop cleaning with this method worked PERFECT thx a lot ! :D

[Nokids]

Thank you so much!!! works great

[SlipperyRaccoon]

Wow! you've just made a sad little geek a very happy man. :) thanks muchly. :D Wooh! Scrolling is cool again!

[theloags]

out of all the videos on youtube this one helped the most!!!!!

[arkygeek]

superb! saved me a warranty claim. thx much!!!

[applemicrosoft1]

THANK YOU SO MUCH !

[alteregg]

Found this and saved money! Thank you so much!!! :-)

[hoisauce]

SAVED MY LIFE!!!!! 6 STARS!

[chadthediary]

IT WORKS, THANK YOU SO MUCH

[anipkeebob]

what surface are you rolling it on? thanks

[Korandel]

It's just a sheet of regular printer paper.

[ShinobiPhoenix]

Incidentally, I'm out of fresh printer paper, I guess it has to be free of ink and can't be like notebook paper? I tried it on that and it still isn't working.

[MITatLawrence]

IT WORKS!!!! AWESOME POST!!!
