so i have a logitech g502, its getting dirt stuck everywhere now that i've been using it for 4 months. i can clean from under the buttons and stuff but i cant clean the triangle designs on the thumb and finger grips on the sides. how can i clean them. today i tried windex and a tooth brush, but that didn't do much. 

 

to elaborate the part i want to clean here is a picture. NOTE:::: these pictures are taken from google. im too lazy to take pictures and post it on here.

Space Journal #1: So Apparently i  was dropped on the moon like i'm a mars rover, in a matter of hours i have found the transformers on the dark side of the moon. Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since.

That is a tiny amount of dust just man up and use it like that, if I showed you a close up of the grooves in between the keys on my keyboard you'd probably shit yourself.

 

Images in OP are not of the actual mouse.

Depends how clean you want it clean.

 

Easiest is just wipe it down with a damp cloth, use a Q-Tip to get to those hard to reach spots, don't use a sharp or metal tool or you'll scratch it up big time.

 

If you want to truly clean it, take it apart and wash the plastic parts with soap and water.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

I get that issue a lot. I hate it too. Off the side you can just scrape it off with your nail, but inbetween the keys, try to get something thin and rigid. Sometimes a toothpick works for me, but even something like a sliver of thin cardboard or construction paper, you can get it in the grooves and get it all out.

thats the tried and true method. i just thought this forum had another way of doing it. maybe some kind of liquid solution or what not. in these situations i would try alcohol pads but the two parts are made of rubber/soft plastic and i dont want to damage them.

Unfortunately there's no other way. I imagine you would wipe it with an alcohol swab, but it works plenty fine to just wipe it off with a paper towel or your finger.

Some compressed air would do the trick.

That is a tiny amount of dust just man up and use it like that, if I showed you a close up of the grooves in between the keys on my keyboard you'd probably shit yourself.

whoever you are gtfo if that is your attitude towards people asking questions.

micro fibre cloth..... wipe it down.

a tooth brush is also good for getting inside the little crevices. (use a new one)

Q-Tip, you can use alcohol just don't put a ton on, get a q-tip very damp with it. Air duster.
