How Clean Is Your Mouse Ball?

Posted on June 23, 2004May 4, 2017

StreamingMediaIQ posted an article today on Mouse Ergonomics. It’s pretty basic stuff, but I must admit, I’d never worried about cleaning the dust out of the bottom of my mouse before.

Be aware of mouse placement. You shouldn’t have to reach for it; there should be a 90 degree angle between your forearm and upper arm. Also, don’t tilt your wrist upward to use your mouse.
