Comment on Does a tiny motion tracking mouse thing exist at all?
FurryMemesAccount@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks agoHere is an example of a sensor:

It’s the hole in the middle of the mouse.
I’ve never needed to clean one but others have suggested using a q-tip with isopropyl alcohol to clean it.
You may also wanna clean the glide pads (The rounded shiny parts at the top and bottom) so the mouse glides like new and doesn’t “catch” on the table.

yeah I’ve removed the paint from the little pads at the bottom.

And the sensor I talked about?
scheep@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’ve tried scraping the paint off with a sharp blade, but I think I need to try to find some isopropyl alcohol to properly clean it

A sharp blade sounds like a terrible idea: the surface of the sensor needs to be optically flat, the sensor needs to SEE the surface it’s used on… I wouldn’t trust myself not to scratch it with a sharp object.
