Default Cleaning underneath a mouse key

I spilled pineapple juice on my mouse and its all sticky under the left & right click. How can I clean it? I cant find any screws to open it.

There's screws under the teflon feet and the sticker under the sensor (that big plastic like sticker with the name Razer on it and model and whatnot)




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

there should be a screw under a sticker. if not just disconnect the mouse and clean it with water. make sure its dry before you connect it back (you could use a hairdryer :) ). I did that once...

right, keyboards are cheaper than mice.... except in my case, I only buy $5-10 kb/mice because I have kids and a clumsy wife

Since when is the average keyboard cheaper than the average mouse?

How about just keeping the drinks away from the equipment altogether, if we're trying to be practical about all this.

Default Re: Cleaning underneath a mouse key

I tried peeling off the lil rubber feet and it got jammed under my nail and started bleeding. There's a big hole where the skin should meet the nail. But I'll try with a knife or exacto blade.



Anyway here are a few things to point out:
-I didn't spill it, a girl on my floor did
-I got the copperhead from woot, so it was only $10 :D
-I never keep beverages on my desk. Always at my feet (our electrical sockets are raised, and my power strip is on my speaker box, basically, this room could be flooded with a foot of water and nothing near my computer would get ruined)

I'll try that once my thumb heals and I get my damn screwdriver back
