    Hey i had cheese sasuages and pizza and macdonalds for dinner today and i ate with my hands while i hysterically played House of the dead on my laptop which is maybe the most intensive mouse game ever made. Now my mouse comparable to Elvis hair. Its full of fat, cheese and god knows what. All i got is a small bottle with thai soap. How can i clean my mouse?

    Update: i manage to get of the visual stuff like ketchup and cheese there is however a shield of fat protecting my mouse from my hands. Its very sticky like my mouse i literally taped to my hand. Any tips?

    Pure acetone and cotton balls. No other responses required.
    You could also use rubbing alcohol.

    Rubbing alcohol perhaps? You might want to look into the belkin washable mouse.

    I keep a spray bottle full of 97% isopropyl alcohol and a can of pure acetone in my room, I clean ALL my electronics with this stuff. So amazing how it just cuts through grease and even really annoying things to remove like thermal paste, etc.
