When it was a ball at the bottom of the mouse; you could remove it to blow out the fuzz, but I can't see any obvious way to clean the little top ball on top. (my finger seems to skip over the top...)

I can tell you: it took me about 90sec. to become addicted to it. This Intel iMac is maybe my eight Mac desktop. Liked every new one better than the previous... Thanks.

Unplug it and rub the ball with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth. If you feel any dirt or particles in it then turn it upside down and rub the ball vigorously.

I find that the longer I wait to clean my Mighty Mouse, the less effective cleaning it really is. Clean your Mighty Mouse as soon as you notice scroll skipping.

Let's ask this in the right forum, eh? It is NOT iMac, eMac, nor Mac Mini specific.

Apology - I thought it was part of my iMac?! I did shoot some windex init and then a blast of air. It works again. Cheers.

Windex corrodes plastic. I wouldn't do that again. But cheers, if it worked
