the black gunk you get on the inside of your mouse around the rollers?, and is it edible.
Thanks
Mouse smegma.
track ball boogers.
Edible?! :eek:
ball jam
Uh, dust?
It’s called “time to get an optical mouse”
I don’t know, but I think it’s the same stuff that’s left over when a 1920’s Style Death Ray is recycled.
Crud.
Sure it’s edible, maybe even nutritional. Please post here with results.
Ditto on the “optical mouse time”.
yummy
“dirt that accumulates in a mouse”.probably edible if yu don’t have a problem with licking your computer desk…
confirmed edible, great on toast!
uck. disgusting. please sanitize with a 1920’s style death ray.
Thats a rather strange fixation you have with death rays??!!
Are you from another planet?
I’ll give you “Dead skin sells and skin oil” - mixed with dirt. That’s smegma in my book. Or sebum maybe.
I had to clean a mouse the other day, that had been in use by a (presumably) very greasy and dirty employee for about four years with no cleaning. It was disgusting. I got a huge pile of smeg out of it, and put all movable parts in a soap-water solution, but to no avail. The mouse wheel was so greasy that it didn’t work. In the end, I had to throw it away.
I clean the crevices in my Nintendo controllers with the end of a nail file, and you’d be surprised how much crud gets packed in there. Probably enough to make a new pair of thumbs, anyway. On the N64 controller I could actually open it up and clean out the insides, but the GC has some funky three-bladed screws so I have to make do with the file.
I reckon it’s the same junk in your mouse, but I bet the “mouse gunk” has a higher dust ratio from the travelling around it does.
Ever sniffed a watch strap?
I wouldn’t eat any black goo from mouse balls.
Kinky!
