How to clean a mouse?

i7-6700K

I got a Logitech G502 Mouse for $25 from my friend. He had it since November and I can tell the mouse has been used. Can i just use alcohol to clean the mouse?

I usually dampen a cloth with some rubbing alcohol and give it a quick wipe then dry it off, so it kills germs and cleans. although some plastics might be damaged by the rubbing alcohol.

wet cloth and rubbing alcohol should work, if you want to go deeper disassemble and clean parts out with a dry cloth and a vaccum

idk

For getting in the nooks of the areas that have been handled I like to use a q-tip with rubbing alcohol.  It's not gonna get as good at tearing it apart, but it should get in cracks pretty well.

 

I'd definitely recommend not plugging it in until you're sure it's all dry.  Just a precaution.

I use c-pap wipes. since they have to clean face junk off masks I figure they are great for mice, keyboards and other things that need bodily gunk cleaned while at the same time being very mild.
