Hi,
Im going to teach you how to replace your mouseballs on your mouse. Sometimes mouseballs get dirty and sticky from all that rolling around. Even to the point that you must replace your mouseballs. So here's how to do it. Before continuing, unplug your mouse from the computer for safety. 1. Take your mouse in your hand carefully and turn it over. 2. Look for the part of the mouse that covers the mouseball. 3. Take your thumb and middle finger and unscrew the mouseball cover. 4. Turn your mouse back over so that the mouseball cover and the mouseball drop out into your other hand. 5. Carefully place your old mouseball into the waste receptacle. 6. Open your new mouseball package, and put your new mouseball in the mouse. 7. Put the mouseball cover on the mouse and twist it back on. Im sure your new mouse will appreciate his new set of mouseballs. Thats it , you're done! Xad |

 this is something which I think most of the people will already be knowing.what I think that instead of replacing the mouseball it is better to clean it properly and then put it back...and the best thing will be purchase a new optical mose which are becoming cheaper these days....anyways thanks for this tutorial  |

Well, I can tell you that the EXACT same tutorial appeared on Astahost. So now, or you copied it, or the other person copied it... Which one is it?

This is great, thanks for the suggestions but I have one myself:
1. Get a $5 bill or equivalent. 2. Go to nearest computer shop. 3. Get an optical mouse. |

well i still use the mouse ball i find it more convient for my tastes, on top of that 80% of the members here are like 15 or younger so its acceptable.
but yeah it only takes a couple of steps to do that as well. i think xado just over did it just a bit. |
