Pretty sure a guy I used to work with used the window cleaning stuff on it with great success.

I sell computers for a living and we do often use window cleaner to clean off mouse pads and display tables, but any low concentration ammonia based cleaner will work Lysol wipes etc... it's just window cleaner leaves less streaks.

 

Just be sure not to use it on your screen or on your peripherals them selves if you can help it. The ammonia in the cleaner will damage the coating on your screen and over time lead to a foggy less clear appearance.

 

ps. Make sure whatever cleaner you choose is not chlorine bleach based it will cause discoloration in your mousepad.

I have a SteelSeries QCK mini. How do I clean it?
