What should I clean my mouse with? I can't feel the texture anymore on the elft click plastic.

Melano

If you can't feel the texture its hopefully because its worn off, this happens with plastic. You can't clean that off.

 

If its because its dirty... gross. Human slime shouldn't be building up on your peripherals lol

Can you attach a picture of the mouse?

 

If it has went shiny there's nothing you can do, it's wear and tear

I mean, its plastic. Clean it how you clean anything else. Get a cloth/rag and wipe it down. I have bottle of low strength isopropyl alcohol for such things but even water will do the job.

Fair, likely rubbing alcohol will be safe. Test it by dabbing a bit on the bottom of the mouse body to make sure it won't melt the plastic or anything.

That being said, it's extremely unlikely that the smoothness is due to schmoo, but rather due to the friction of your finger wearing it down

Wiping plastic with a lower grade alcohol isn't going to melt the plastic, i've' been doing this for nearly two decades. Obviously don't drench it in it and leave it there.... 

 

As has been said though, if its simply worn down from friction/use, there is no cleaning that can be done to bring that back.

You clean it with cleaning products.  It's not special or unique, you can use common every day stuff.

Sorry, I meant a picture of your mouse, so we can see how you should clean it

Do you really need a pic of it to know how to clean it?

Just to see what OP is talking about, whether it is just plastic gone glossy from use, or actual dirt that can be cleaned

Texture is gone on left click. Its probably worn off then. Crappy plastic products.
