Not really about cleaning: our department has some of those
rubberized fabric mouse pads and the mice riding on them gather
an enormous amount of gunk on the rollers; every day the mouse
gets completely stuck which is very annoying (the rollers are
hard to hold in place for cleaning). When I bought my own Mac I
decided to experiment a little and for the past year I've been
using a $2 vinyl "dish placement mat" or whatever the official
name is - the thing that goes under the hot plates on a glass
top dinner table. I wash it with water/soap every week and,
believe it or not, my mouse's rollers and balls have not been
cleaned once since I got it and they look factory new. Try it. Eric
