Oh, smell.

I think the scrollwheel is broken on my mouse: it will go up, but not down with any regularity. This is my lovely five-button bluetooth mouse, which sits perfectly beneath my fingers, which can be used on my lap inside a quilt if it's too cold to have my hand on the desk, which takes webpages back and forward with a touch of a thumb. It may be my dearest web-slobbing companion.

Woe.

Off to Amazon I suppose to find the exact same mouse.

ETA: Ooh, hang on; I may have fixed it with the power of a good puff down the places dust can get in. I hope it survives the night...

I was going to suggest a nice puff of air from a camera lens cleaner or can of compressed air and then some rubbing alcohol on a lint free cloth to clean gunk off. Even the fancy mice are pretty darn hardy when it comes to rough cleaning techniques.

It seems to be surviving quite well - but definitely thanks for the advice! It's not too gunky, though a bit of a clean would probably do it good.
