Before you clean your device:
- Unplug it from your computer and make sure it’s turned off. Keep liquids away from your device, and don’t use solvents or abrasives.
To clean your trackball:
- Use water to lightly moisten a soft, lint-free cloth and gently wipe down the mouse.
To clean the ball on your trackball:
- Remove the metal plate from the bottom.
- To remove the metal place just gently pull the plate away from the mouse, the plate is attached with a powerful magnet but can be removed and placed back easily.
- Eject the ball with the back of a pen, through the hole on the bottom.
- The bottom of the hole can be easily accessed once the metal plate has been removed.
- Wipe the ball and the white bearings so all dust is removed from the ball cup and the ball.
- Put the ball back in the cup and place the metal plate with the rubber side facing the table.
NOTE: The metal plate beneath the mouse is adjustable and stays firmly attached via magnetism.
NOTE: In most cases, you can use isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and anti-bacterial wipes. Before using rubbing alcohol or wipes, we suggest you test it first in an inconspicuous area to make sure it doesn’t cause discoloration or remove the lettering from the keys.
