cleaning the not so mighty mouse

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Every once in a while the scroll ball on my Mighty Mouse stops working.  According to google, this happens to approximately everyone who owns one.  Cleaning with a little bit of cotton and alcohol worked for a while, but recently I lost the ability to scroll down.  Doh.

After trying all the usual methods I found this wonderful description of flossing the scroll ball with tape.  Worked like a charm!
