Introducción

Antes de tomar medidas más drásticas, debes intentar simplemente limpiar una bola de desplazamiento que se comporta mal desde el exterior del mouse.

    • Antes de continuar, apaga el mouse usando el interruptor deslizante debajo del mouse.

    • Antes de desarmar el mouse, primero intenta frotar la bola del mouse con un cepillo de dientes y alcohol isopropílico. Asegúrate de colocar las cerdas entre la bola y la carcasa, ya que esto ayudará a eliminar la suciedad y el polvo que obstruyen los rodillos en el interior.

    • También puedes intentar soplar en el "agujero de la bola" con una lata de aire comprimido.

Conclusión

Permite que el mouse se seque durante unos minutos antes de volver a encenderlo para probarlo.

In order to clean perfectly the scrollball, you can hold the mouse upside down, and roll very quickly the scrollball on a white A4 papersheet (As if you wanted to colour the papersheet with the scrollball). Normally, you'll see some grey stripe of dust on the paper sheet!

Wow - Ludal's advice actually worked! I'm amazed. Paper -- just a plain sheet of paper.

I can't believe I just found this post in 2015, gotta say thank you for saving $53 bucks!

I actually did both things but I used one of those wipes for eyeglasses which have alcohol in them after rubbing it on paper. Worked great.

Brian Kemian -

Thanks a loit. Even in 2020 it helped ;-)

Robert Reichel -

Amazing, after months of frustration - rub for 5 mins on a plain sheet of paper - working perfectly. Thanks

Shay Kennedy -

Yeah, props to the author for the thorough cleaning recommendation, but that paper trick is great!

Mike -

Yes! This paper trick works perfectly! Amazing.

Keith Wallace -

GREAT!!!! The paper trick was really really great!!!!!

Just to say it, the alcohol worked perfectly. Presumably, most people do not have isopropyl alcohol laying around so the paper trick is preferred—i.e., do not use rubbing alcohol.

Paper trick works perfectly. Last time cleaning a ball on the mouse is when the ball is under the mouse, not on top.

Hi! I would reccomend to everyone to try instead of normal paper sheet sticky roller paper, like the one used for cleaning lint on your clothes!!! It is magic! But still, if is too much dirt inside, you must take it apart!

I can’t believe it. Just a plain sheet of paper. Great tip!!!

Thanks from the year 2020! I love the Mighty Mouse because my hands are large and cramp up using the Magic Mouse which has a lower profile. The paper trick has given new life to my mouse!

When I used to have to fix these on the regular (having one at home AND having to do the tech support for them at work), just cleaning the ball on the outside was never enough, and I needed to reach inside to clean the rollers underneath the ball. I tried all sorts of things but found the best “tool” for the job was a plastic fork with the outside tine flattened (yes, I used my mouth to bite it flat). It was thin & flexible enough to wrap around and fit between the ball & the rollers but firm enough to actually be able to scrape the gunk off of the rollers.

I hope this helps! (Gotta admit, I prefer this mouse to the Magic Mouse.)
