3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I am glad you got it working again, and thank you for warning me about the state of your mouse, I will bring some disposable gloves if I need to use it

How about you let that bad boy soak in some IPA for a couple of days? xD

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Instructions unclear, soaked in India Pale Ale and now it's even stickier

On the plus side you have now made a Mouse IPA. Really brings out the hoppy flavour.

Taking something apart to fix it and not also cleaning it is a handiwork sin

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

That would probably dissolve some of the plastic parts.

Mouse: someone kill me

It's just paint. I guess if OP cared, they could sand it off and spray it with an even coat to make it pretty.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that this mouse broke because of the 3+ layers of definitely-not-paint that I can see in this pic

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't think that's paint wear. It looks more like grime buildup to me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

It’s paint wear. The grime was cleaned off.

Great follow up, nice to see it’s working again!

Nice! I used a Logitech MX518 for around 12 years before I finally decided it was too grody to continue using. I heard they released a MX518 homage mouse a few years ago, and I'm thinking about getting one. They were the perfect mice.
