Beer all over my mouse

So, last night I spilled half a beer on my mouse. This mouse was 40 dollars and had buttons on the side that I used for gaming/ other purposes. I also lost the reciever.

I'm currently using a crappy mouse my friend gave me and I feel like there's a ghost button. I try to press the side of my mouse and I get no result. It's like stepping down a stair you didn't know was there.

Anybody had this experience?

 

Yea, got icecream in my keyboard once. Sucked, but I took out each individual key and cleaned them.

Won't work that way for a mouse, time to get a new one.

Edit: P.S. I hate you for reminding me of alcohol

 

I spilled wine on my keyboard once. That was that.

 

The real question: what kind of mouse, and what kind of beer? That way we know which one to mourn more.

My guess, if you spilled beer on a mouse and lost the receiver in the same night, it probably wasn't a very good beer and this morning probably wasn't a very good morning for you...

 

Lol, I laughed at your posts.

Sorry 'bout reminding you about alcohol. Sorry bout your keyboard. I took apart my friends xbox controller, cleaned it, and put it back together for no reason whatsoever...

And what happened to your keyboard wingnut?

 

Lawl, you must not know me very well...

I don't care to elaborate but it was a logitech mouse and it was budweiser. I can refer you to a thread on another forum explaining why I drink budweiser but I think it 404'd already.

 

I spilled a full and steaming hot cup of coffee on my keyboard once. After that, I took it apart and cleaned everything. Luckily, it all stayed on or around the rubber cover and it still works great! =)

 

I always keep beverages some distance from my computer, but not too far either so I can still reach them without getting up. So even if I accidentally knock them over, It won't cause disastrous effect.

 

reppin' SJ! all day!

I've never spilled beer on my mouse before but I hope I never do hahah I hate replacing things such as mouse and keyboards, they cost a lot now adays so I try to take care of it but I do each and drink around them all the time haha. my keyboard gets more of the mess than my mouse though.

 

Lol you from SJ? I would never have expected someone from my area to be on this website.

 

I spilled a bigass glass of ice water on my first laptop. Back when they used to weight 20 pounds lol. I took out the hard drives and picked it up today and I am still amazed at how incredibly heavy it was.

 

You Sir, should be put in prison for such crime...

 

and its drunk? that should make the mouse easier to catch... drunk mice are stupid.

 

Just some Kleenex!

 

That's the beer's way of saying logitech is junk. Now drink it all before it becomes self-aware.

 

Just pry off the mouse feet (plastic / teflon circles at the bottom), and you should find the screws that hold the mouse casings together. Unscrew and expose all the innards, then just carefully clean all of that with a damp napkin + room temperature drying.

 

Or just throw it in a bowl full of rice (uncooked of course ).

 

You might want to clean out the scroll wheel too. I would imagine the beer would have made it go a little sticky, which is never nice.
