Uh oh... this is not good. A couple questions |
|
First, someone explain to me how I got gum wraped up in my mouse.
Then, someone explain to me how to get it out.

If it has a roller ball take it out and use alcohol. Works like a charm.

I suspect alcohol might've been involved in getting the gum there in the first place.

10. It is officially a no-name brand! |
|
Seriously, there is no brand name on this thing. But, it works pretty well. I think I bought it at some big electronics chain store.

I'd go out and buy a couple of inexpensive optical mice and put one in a drawer for a backup.

6. Just replace the mouse |
|
It's easier than trying to over-think things. Cheap, too.
I love my cheap-ass GE optical mouse, bought at Target for 25 bucks.

9. My Belkin optical mouse was sort of free. |
|
Got it for Harris Poll points.
Now, I can understand how, during some inexplicable blackout, gum could get into a mouse.
What I cannot comprehend is how IT IS NOW IN YOUR KEYBOARD.
That simply shrieks of carelessness.
Keyboards can be bought for $10. Perhaps you should also get in a supply of them.
