Rodents carry disease you know

Ya know... that black smegma I have to chip out and off of my various computer mice with a qtip and my fingernails is quite possibly one of the grossest substances known to man. It's seriously right up there with earwax and belly button lint. And this from the girl who obsessively cleans her mice once a week, if not more... I hate to think about the insides/undersides of other people's mice.

I'm like that at work. I have a trackball at home and pop the ball out and wipe it off regularly.

And don't EVEN get me started on keyboards. OMGWTF.

I'm surprised you don't have one of those optical mice, then.

I do. The smeg gathers on the contact pads.

Be thankful you don't work IT for a major corporation. Some of the keyboards we get back from termed users belong in sealed plastic containers with biohazard decals -_-
