    I remember being bored in school and picking out the ‘string’ that had formed out of grease and dirt around the x/y axis rollers, I don’t think there was actually anyone whose actual job it was to clean those things

      I have it with the new Laser Mouse at school where the grease is formed at the corners of the pad. I can always feel how icky and sticky those mice feel like so I actually need to remove them somehow.

        It baffles me how people can go around with their hands all grimy and dirty. Why do so many people have such poor hygiene?

          It’s just different levels of sweating / releasing fat. My mice and guitars are always more grimy than a regular person’s. I try to keep my hands clean, it’s just my body works a bit differently
